gosh this is inspiring. now the dems are a minority in congress; now that unions are busted; now that union jobs are fewer and fewer; now that NAFTA is moving toward FTAA and "free trade" agreements abound; now that the WTO and IMF are calling the shots, privatizing the world economy into the hands of MNCs *violently* against unionization; now that union members generally vote republican unless confronted by shrub, "virtually all dems" are "more pro-labor" -- which actually means Pro-Union not pro-labor -- the dems favor
a card check bill and are trying to masquerade as being more pro-labor than a generation ago, when they were hardly pro-labor at all.
very heartening, nathan newman. what a gas.

| More evidence that the Democratic Party is more pro-labor than it was a
| generation ago. Where significant numbers of Dems once sided against
labor
| in many votes, virtually every single Democrat is supporting the Employee
| Free Choice Act, the "card check" bill being pushed by the AFL-CIO.
|
| Notably, even the Democratic candidates in Oklahoma, Georgia and South
| Carolina are supporting the
| bill.

| Virtually All Democratic Candidates
| Pledge to Co-Sponsor Card-Check Bill
|
| The AFL-CIO has garnered pledges from virtually all Democratic candidates
| but from few Republicans to co-sponsor a bill (S. 1925, H.R. 3619) that
| proponents say would expedite the union organizing process.
