Unions, Radical Right clash over card check organizing By Mark Gruenberg, Workday Minnesota
WASHINGTON — While labor and its congressional allies energetically push legislation for card-check recognition of unions to represent workers, a group of Radical Right congressional Republicans is pushing for a card-check ban.
In addition, the George W. Bush-appointed GOP majority on the National Labor Relations Board is threatening to reverse past NLRB support for card-check as an option to the contested election process.
Debate over card-check symbolizes the sharp divisions in Washington over the role and future of labor.
