Really? The Dems have voted for major labor law reform three times since the 1960s- each time the GOP in the Senate filibustered the bills and killed them.

People can repeat falsehoods but it doesn't make them true.

The Dems are compromised by corporate money in lots of ways, but on basic labor issues, they have repeatedly voted for labor reform. And Democratic NLRB's have consistently been far more favorable to unions than GOP-dominated NLRBs.

Give a shred of evidence to contradict either of those basic facts.
