...it is hardly surprising that Congressional Democrats have lined up solidly behind legislation to let union organizers simply collect signed cards from a majority of workers, in order to be certified as the officially recognized union for those workers.

It's not just dems. My idiot republican Don Young voted in favor of this last year. I found out when the Teamsters put on a radio ad asking people to call his office and and tell him thanks. Instead, I wrote him a letter and and in not so many words, asked him WTF?. Amazingly, he tried to defend the bill. When I wrote back again I asked if he was ok with of congressional elections being held via non-secret ballots, since it was apparently ok for union elections. He didn't answer that one.

""I will make it the law of the land when I'm President of the United States," Barack Obama has said to the AFL-CIO. "

By Executive Order, perhaps?

The man is crazy, and in way over his head.

“Even the Congressional Black Caucus dares not vote for vouchers or any other form of school choice that the teachers’ unions oppose. Better to let a whole generation of black children be trapped in failing schools that employ union teachers.”

“But special interests? Not at all

Smack down!

I defy anyone to spend a few minutes at OpenSecrets.org and not come to the obvious conclusion that the Democrats are overwhelmingly the party of special interests.

Cf, the list of Top Industry Giving,

or drill down into each industry and look at, for instance, Lawyers/Lawfirms

Since unions are losing the game under the current rules, their obvious answer is to change the rules.

Once again, Sowell hits it out of the park.
