Who the fuck needs card-check?
Democracy even?
Quote:
The National Mediation Board, which oversees labor relations in the air and rail industry, this month moved to overturn 75 years of labor policy.
The board plans to stack the deck for organized labor in union elections. Under a proposed rule, unions would no longer have to get the approval of a majority of airline workers to achieve certification. Not even close. Instead, a union could win just by getting a majority of the employees who vote. Thus, if only 1,000 of 10,000 flight attendants vote in a union election, and 501 vote for certification, the other 9,499 become unionized.
This radical break with precedent is the handiwork of President Obama's appointees to the three-member board: Harry Hoglander, once president of a pilots union, and Linda Puchala, former president of the Association of Flight Attendants.
The board got a request to adopt the jerry-rigged voting standard from the AFL-CIO in September. Without a hearing or invitation for preliminary views, the Obama duo drafted the AFL-CIO demand and published it in the Federal Register. It's now subject to a 60-day comment period, after which Ms. Puchala and Mr. Hoglander will no doubt vote to inflict it on all the nation's airline and rail carriers.

Unions need it, because without it they would cease to exist in the private sector.

Sometimes the rank and file need a little ...encouragement...to do the right thing for themselves.

This is true.
... and since they aren't the sharpest antennas on the roof, they will all vote for it, thinking it was "Check Card" not "Card Check."

Just waiting for the word on card-check. Then we are going to fan out across the land, browbeating millions of workers into joining up.
muahahaha

I'm sorry if I confused you, I tried to use small words.
The question posed was, who needs card check. My answer was, the Unions.
Are you still confused? |

The idea is that no one actually joins a union unless intimidated into it by goons.

The big gains in unionization are all going to come in the low-wage service sector anyway. It's been too late in manufacturing for quite a while now.

That's one of their Holy Grails when it comes to business and Social Justice...
You get Walmart unionized and saddled with a Cadillac benefit package and viola!
Main Street's BACK in business.
I've got my eye on a nice '57 Chevy with only a little rust and in need of a second coat of spray paint...

You think paying Walmart greeters 10 bucks an hour is going to put us in Havana, 1984, eh?

Mine's kinda old-fashioned too... Reminds me, I need to fire it up for some football dip today.
I have a feeling the Chiefs will have me hitting the booze hard, especially if it's broadcast in this area.
They's in a union. It explains a lot. |
