...you can assume that we taxpayers are in for an even bigger beating that we've suffered so far.

I've posted why we should be indignant and enraged over how the administration is trampling on creditor's legal rights in favor of unions, first in the Chrysler and GM cases, with more to come, like Hartmarx and many others.

But lets not forget the unions representing all the local, state and federal government workers. They haven't gotten the press coverage, but their activity to assure that none of their members are "mistreated" are proceeding at a record pace.

Organized labor’s top priority in this Congress is expected to be the "Employee Free Choice Act." The measure would dramatically change U.S. labor law. Today, employees can elect to be represented by a union by a private-ballot election to decide whether they want union representation in their workplace. Elections are overseen by the National Labor Relations Board, which has numerous procedures in place to ensure fair, fraud-free elections. Because of NLRB safeguards, employees can cast their vote confidentially, without peer pressure or coercion from unions or employers.

If Congress passes the Employee Free Choice Act, unions will no longer be required to be chosen by elections. The bill would establish a so-called "card-check" union organizing system, in which all that is required for a union to claim it's right to represent employees is that they get a majority of employees to sign a card favoring union representation.

The measure would also require a government-mandated arbitrator to force a contract on the employer if the employer and the union don't reach an agreement within 120 days. The government would set the wage rates, benefits, work rules, etc. instead of the requirement that such issues be settled through negotiation.
