According to Steven Greenhouse in the New York Times is saying that Moderate Democrats in the Senate have effectively killed the provision for Card Check in the Senate. He says:
The abandonment of card check was another example of the power of moderate Democrats to constrain their party’s more liberal legislative efforts. Though the Democrats have a 60-40 vote advantage in the Senate, and President Obama supports the measure, several moderate Democrats opposed the card-check provision as undemocratic.
In its place, several Senate and labor officials said, the revised bill would require shorter unionization campaigns and faster elections.
While disappointed with the failure of card check, union leaders argued this would still be an important victory because it would give companies less time to press workers to vote against unionizing.
Some business leaders hailed the dropping of card check, while others called the move a partial triumph because the bill still contained provisions they oppose.
So it looks like the Moderate Democrats in the Senate have screwed the American People again with their threats and whining that 'The little people are going to gain an upper hand against those wittle Powerful Corporations'.
Here are the phone numbers of all of the 'Moderate Democrat's in the Senate...why don't ya give them a phone call and help figure out if they're the ones that blocked Unions from having a legitimate chance of getting new memeberships through Corporate Obfuscation.
