I consider it a matter of integrity for an elected congressman to represent the will of his constituents. That means, for McCotter, being more pro-union that we might like. His voters sent him to Washington to be their voice.
How does Card Check favor the workers? It doesn’t. It favors the Union Bosses and their Democrat pals.
Would it favor the people to say no more secret ballots in elections? Of course not. No more does it favor the workers.
If he favors Card Check, then evidently he is in the pockets of the Union Bosses.
The common area shared by unions and liberty is unfortunately not that vast. However virtuous McCotter’s effort is at home, his affinity to unionism would create a problem for him in the primaries.
I like McCotter, and I generally don’t have a problem with private sector unions save the thuggery, intimidation, and alliances with Communism.
