Just a reminder, folks… card check is still lurking out there. Congress has yet to address it so it isn’t dead until it’s dead. And even then, no bad idea from democrats ever goes away, it just festers like an open sore ready to erupt anew.

This from The TruthAboutTheEFCA.com:

Mike O’Brien at the Hill has a great post with a quote from SEIU Generalisimo Andy Stern on making the violently misnamed Employee Free Choice Act a priority in 2010:

“The Democrats really have a historic and decisive moment, for anybody who runs a business there are moments where you sort of make big choices,” Stern told the audience. “They have 60 votes for the first time and probably the last time they’re gonna have it. They have to decide if they are an army of one or an army of 60.”

It’s interesting (again!) at labor leaders’ language of aggression tied to the issue of card check, which is really kinda the point, ya know?

It’s all the more interesting when one continually reads about allegations of — shall we say — zealous union tactics even as they claim that there will be no problems of coercion under a card check world.

The latest allegation comes from California, where a report says “NUHW supporters from UNITE HERE Local 11 were also targets of eggs and water bottles, with reports that one organizer was ‘roughed up’ as they tried to enter the event.”
