The GOP still controls Congress and the White House at the moment, and even if the Democrats got control of all three branches, they are unlikely to gain the sixty Senate seats necessary to overcome GOP filibusters against any proposed labor law reform.
So unions will still be largely on their own in reversing the slide in unionization rates and rebuilding their strength in the workplace. Which is why Stern is more focused on the internal changes the union movement needs to make than what will be gained with a Kerry victory. A Bush victory will be a disaster, since labor will be left playing defense, but Stern rightly is warning against complacency that a Kerry victory by itself is sufficient for unions to achieve their goals.------------------------------------------- posted 6:30 AM :: reference link ::
