The LAT ran a story recently on the impending fight over card check. It's a decent story and provides a decent explanation of the current system's inherent problems. Namely, before an NLRB vote, employers have ample time to wage an anti-union campaign. As several landmark studies have shown, union membership is not down because of worker disinterest. (see my post on 11/15.) Rather, it is due to lengthy periods before an election where workers are fired, harassed, or persuaded by their employers that a union is antithetical to them, with the threat of dismissal ever present.
Good to have Solis on Labor's Side
