Following up with a news item I mentioned during my CPAC coverage, Michigan GOP chair Saul Anuzis is running up a campaign with Newt Gingrich’s American Solutions to stop a potential power grab by organized labor in a friendly administration and Congress. Here’s Anuzis explaining it:
There’s more information on the situation at the Americacn Solutions site too:
The top legislative priority for organized labor and their allies in Congress is the so-called Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), also known as “Card Check.” EFCA is an enormous power grab by big labor bosses that would strip workers of their right to decide by private ballot whether to join a union, and their right to freely negotiate their contract. Instead of a secret ballot election, workers would be asked to publicly sign cards in front of union organizers, potentially subjecting them to harassment or intimidation.
There are plenty of unionized workers in Tennessee (and across the country) who don’t want to lose their right to a secret ballot. This could be a real winning issue for conservatives.
