<< Why the Silence on Abu Ghraib? | Main | Marine from Control Room Pushed Out >> August 04, 2004The Threat to Card Check OrganizingA good article on the legal threat to use of card checks for union organizing and media coverage of the issue. The most sardonic comment from the article is the observation that this issue, a critical one setting off alarms throughout the labor movement, doesn't warrant any serious coverage by major newspapers: While a Nexis search for "Catherine Zeta-Jones" turns up 957 articles during the past 30 days, a search for NLRB and "card check" turns up 55 articles during the past 60 days. Of these, many address particular union organizing drives rather than the NLRB's general review of card check, several are letters to editors, and several more are repeats of the same articles.

Trackback PingsTrackBack URL for this entry: CommentsI have to say, from an insider's perspective at the NLRB (shhh), things ain't looking good for card check. Several Board members and the General Counsel are not at all happy with the system as it stands, and there is lots of pressure from Republicans on the Hill about it. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the Board stops accepting voluntary recognitions at all in the near future. It sucks, but unfortunately unions would do well to come up with a new strategy. Don't ask me what they could come up with. Alas. One more reason to vote for Kerry in the fall. Posted by: KT at August 10, 2004 03:17 PM Post a comment
