Big Labor Still Pushing Their Out-of-Touch Agenda
Union Bosses Ignore the Lessons from Massachusetts, Continue to Push EFCA
While politicians across the country are reassessing their agendas based on Tuesday’s rejection of big government and higher taxes by the voters in Massachusetts, the labor bosses in Washington remain committed to passing the jobs-killing Employee Free Choice Act..
Andy Stern, head of the SEIU, saw Tuesday’s election results as meaning that “every member of Congress and the Administration must act with a renewed sense of purpose to show working families whose side they are on and deliver meaningful change to every American.”
The Hill quotes an AFL-CIO source, regarding Senator-elect Scott Brown’s victory, “"If officials go running to the center like some are calling for, and away from what they campaigned on, they learned exactly the wrong lesson from this election."
Brian Worth, chairman of the Coalition for a Democratic Workplace, stated, "Despite yet another rejection of their job-killing agenda, Big Labor still demands that Congress pass the mis-named Employee Free Choice Act..”
"Shoving this unpopular, anti-worker bill down the throats of the American people is exactly the kind of thinking that compelled the people of Massachusetts to take this Senate seat away from Democrats for the first time in almost 40 years,” Worth continued.
CDW has released national polling that has consistently shown that the vast majority of voters, including those in union households, oppose job-killing proposals such as card-check and government-mandated binding arbitration. To view CDW’s research, please visit www.MyPrivate.Ballot.com.
