Crunch Time on “Card Check”
The Business Council of New York State and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce are asking you to speak out now and send a message to your Senator to say no to “Card Check”.
The next 10 days may determine if Big Labor’s “Card Check” bill becomes a reality.
While members of Congress are back in their districts for a two-week recess, the Unions have fired up an all-out lobbying blitz designed to pressure legislators into supporting their dangerous, anti-jobs bill. We believe that now is also the time for business to send a message to law makers telling them to reject “Card Check”.
That’s why your U.S. Senators need to hear from Americans like you today!
Labor targets Wall Street in ‘card-check’ fight
TheHill.com reports – “A new ad from organized labor targets Wall Street in calling on Congress to move the controversial card-check bill.
American Rights at Work (ARAW), a labor advocacy group affiliated with several unions, plans a nationwide buy for the ad to play on cable television across the country. It will begin during the two-week congressional recess now under way.
The ad targets financial companies that have asked for government bailouts for lobbying against the card-check bill, which would make it easier to form unions. The ad does not specify which financial firms have lobbied against the bill.
“It’s the Wall Street way of doing business,” the ad says. “It’s time the economy worked for everyone again.”
