This is a Kabuki Bill.
It ain’t going anywhere.................
They’re trying to buy EVERY POSSIBLE vote.
Zero. It's a vote for the election with no expectation of every being enacted. Just like all those Republican voted to repeal Obamacare.
T'would be a short victory. Manufacturers have already shown what happens when you make their costs rise - they move elsewhere. Democrat rules and regulations have pushed tons of manufacturing jobs out of the US. It's only by Trump's deregulation efforts and evening of the international playing field that some of those jobs are coming back.
Throwing another layer of strict, unnecessary labor rules into the mix will ensure that the next Ford or GM products will be coming from a foreign factory.
DOA in the Senate.
However, it tips their hand to what will happen the next time (God forbid) we get Dems in charge of both Houses + POTUS.
They’ll be signing Card Check into law 24 hours after the inauguration.
An election year democrat game to piss off all the union Trump support before the election.
It’s DEAD Jim.
A study for the International Franchise Association found the rule had cost franchise businesses an average of $142,000 per year.

That’s enough to put the majority of franchises underwater.

This is a preview of what the Democrats are going to do if they win the Senate back. Trump will likely veto it. This is a sop to the unions for the 2020 election.
Unions only represent 6.2% of private workers. However they represent 33.1% of public workers, which is where their political strength comes from. Public sector unions, especially in big cities, sit across from their buddies at the negotiating table. Hence the overloaded benefits and pensions that result.
WSJ is fighting the last war. Union membership is less than 10% and falling.
90% of manufacturing jobs are NON UNION, so most of the jobs moved overseas were non union. Greed greed greed is killing us. We need a very high protective tariff NOW!
This bill won’t make it past the Senate or President Trump. If one like it ever did, American businesses and manufacturing would soon be dead. Be sure to vote for President Trump and all Republican candidates for the House and Senate in 2020 as all the Democrats would go for a bill like this.
It would have to pass the Senate in order to do that and it won't.
Unions only represent 6.2% of private workers. However they represent 33.1% of public workers
They represent 15% in Michigan, 14% in Pennsylvania, and 14% in Ohio. That's what this is targeting.
