Be wary of the elected Congress, Labor Secretary nominee Hilda Solis, the President-elect, and numerous pro-union lobbying organizations once Congress takes session and the President-elect is sworn in.

An organization called Change to Win “intends to help President Obama pass the Employee Free Choice Act” within the first 100 days of Congress. The dangerous legislation (H.R. 800, S. 1041) would amend the National Labor Relations Act to give workers the option to form a union through a National Labor Relations Board check of authorization cards signed by a majority of employees.

In March 2007, the House passed the Employee Free Choice Act (H.R. 800) by a vote of 241-185, but in June 2007, supporters of the bill in the Senate (S. 1041) fell nine votes short of the 60 needed to limit Senate debate and proceed to final consideration of the bill.

Be sure that Obama and the Democrats in Congress will have to pay back Big Labor for their elections: the forces of organized labor spent $1 billion to elect the President-elect and strong majorities in both the House and the Senate.

Other priorities for Big Labor in 2009 include:

1. Repeal of every Right to Work law in the country by federal fiat. This can be accomplished with repeal of section 14(b) of the the Taft-Hartley Act. State Right to Work laws, currently enforced in 22 states, secure the principle that no worker should be compelled to join or pay tribute to a union to get or keep a job. The states that have right to work have far outperformed forced-unionism states in numerous measures of economic growth and vitality.

2. Union lobbyists have another bill in mind — one which will force unionization on hundreds of thousands of public safety workers across America. The bill, dubbed the Public Safety Employer-Employee Cooperation Act, would federally impose forced unionism on all first responders in America. According to the National Right to Work Committee, almost half of all states either do not permit union monopoly bargaining over police, firefighters, and EMTs or grant more limited forms of “exclusive representation.” Additionally, in the last twelve years, 16 state legislatures have rejected legislation that would force police, firefighters, and paramedics into union collectives.

Please do everything you can to oppose this anti-freedom legislation from passing. Big Labor’s agenda is at the top of the Democrats’ priority list once Congress starts its session.
