House Passes Bill That Helps Unions Organize

It is a way for the Democrats to pay back the unions for helping them to win the Congress. The bill passed by the House, even if it were passed, would do little to remedy was hurting labor in America. Union membership in America has been declining for decades along with their jobs. Big business has succeeded in decimating the working class by outsourcing jobs to countries that oppress their workers. The Democrats have done nothing to stop this massive exodus. It is about PR; making look like they actually doing something that benefits labor when in fact they are beholden to the same master as the Republicans:

Defying a veto threat from the White House, the House of Representatives yesterday approved legislation that would make it far easier for unions to organize workers.

The bill, whose prospects for enactment are troubled at best, would enable employees at a given workplace to unionize as soon as a majority signed cards saying they favored a union. Under current law, companies have a right to insist on a secret-ballot election determining their workers’ choice. Labor leaders and many Democrats say such elections are often poisoned by employer coercion and intimidation.
