Barack Obama and Unions
Barack Obama is pro-union. Being pro-union means being pro-card check. And a card check system means it will be easier to organize employees into unions even if the workers impacted do not want it. The House passed the card-check bill last year by a 241-185 vote, but it was blocked in the Senate where Democrats fell nine votes short of the 60 votes needed to end a GOP filibuster. If the “if’s become reality, look for this to change.
