Full Accountability — Except for Labor
By Doug Bandow

Democracy can be messy. You find that in any number of stories about voting irregularities. For example, in Florida’s 13th congressional district, Republican Vern Buchanan won last fall by just 369 votes. Democrat Christine Jennings cried foul, noting that some 18,000 ballots were cast without a vote for either candidate. (The House of Representatives is investigating.)

There has been much public criticism following the high-speed crash by a state trooper in New Jersey where Gov. Jon Corzine, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was seriously injured. Upset by the criticism, some cops on a private union website called for a “ticket-writing blitz” on May 1st, according to CNS News. One trooper wrote, “Just hang out in the right lane doing 70 and pick off the first (expletive) that goes by.”
Nice, huh?

One of the more egregiously misnamed bills in the history of Congress has got to be the “Employee Free Choice Act,” a measure which is neither pro-employee nor a free choice. What it really does is allow union bosses to force employers to recognize a union as the workforce’s bargaining agent without the hassle of a supervised, secret ballot election.
