Michael O’Brien writes on TheHill.com - “A top labor official said Monday that President Obama and White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel have indicated that they will not bring up “card check” legislation until after healthcare reform is done in Congress.

AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Richard Trumka, the expected incoming president of the influential union, pledged during a web chat on the liberal blog firedoglake that organized labor would work to pass healthcare reform in order to move onto one of its top priorities, the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA).”

The Business Council want to remind its members not o think that the battle is won; take this as “pressure pays off” and it is hard to fight many different battles all at once. Keeping Card Check off the agenda until health care reform is done is one step closer to our goal of making sure card check isn’t on any agenda. 2010 is an election year and some members will find it harder to cast a vote on this in an election year.
