NYT Editorial: Obama Should Support EFCA/Card Check in 2009

Today's NYT editorial page features a well-put piece on why Obama should support the EFCA and allow Hilda Solis to struggle for workers' rights. But as the editorial inquires, and many of us wonder, will he do so.

"The Labor Agenda"

"'The argument against unions — that they unduly burden employers with unreasonable demands — is one that corporate America makes in good times and bad, so the recession by itself is not an excuse to avoid pushing the bill next year. The real issue is whether enhanced unionizing would worsen the recession, and there is no evidence that it would."
