Democratic Opposition To Card Check Grows

Interesting point.

Washington, D.C. (April 28, 2009) – The Workforce Fairness Institute today issued the following statement concerning Senator Arlen Specter and the Employee ‘Forced’ Choice Act (EFCA).

“Senator Specter has stated he will vote against cloture on the Employee ‘Forced’ Choice Act because it requires ‘compulsory arbitration’ and ‘elimination of the secret ballot.’  His change of party simply increases the number of Democrats opposing this job-killing legislation,” said Katie Packer, executive director of the Workforce Fairness Institute.  “Union bosses like Andy Stern and Jimmy Hoffa may believe they can pressure elected officials into supporting their causes – much like they do workers signing union cards – but Senate Republicans and Democrats alike have clearly expressed an unwillingness to support legislation that removes the right of workers to vote on contracts and on the formation of a union."
