Everything will come down to the Senate. Fortunately, leadership has stated the GOP caucus will hold the line on this vote.

David A: thanks for the explanation. I worry that Card Check will be something pushed during the lame duck session.

any guess as to how Perriello who has much union money would vote?

Many of the top unions have seriously underfunded pensions due in large part to poor management. With unionization rates on the decline, they are having a terrible time of bringing the pensions up to sustainable levels.

So, what’s the logical action?

According to them, it’s remove a worker’s right to a private ballot, mandate binding arbitration by a government bureaucrat and increase unfair labor practice fines. All three are the prime tenants of EFCA.

While everyone thinks removing the private ballot provision is the most egregious component of the bill, it’s actually the binding arbitration part.

Imagine if you owned a business and had a unionized workforce (I know, stay with me). The union will most likely come in with an outlandish set of terms. Naturally, you would not agree. Because no agreement can be made a government bureaucrat will come into your place of work and lay a contract down that he sees fit. This contract will be in place for 2 years and there isn’t a thing you can do about it.

Now, since EFCA hasn’t been able to be pushed through Congress, organized labor is pushing a union pension bailout bill. This bill would push the responsibilities on to the public taxpayer all because of poor mismanagement.
