\nIt appears Big Labor will stop at nothing to impose card check forced unionism on American workers and job-providers. Public opposition from energized Right to Work supporters and other concerned Americans to the draconian card check bill — which eliminates the secret ballot<\/a> in workplace unionization drives, opens up workers to intimidating "home visits<\/a>," and allows government bureaucrats to impose contracts on workers<\/a> — has thus far stalled the legislation in the Senate.\n<\/p>\n

\nOn Tuesday, in what may have been a test vote on card check, the Senate rejected an attempt to move President Obama’s nomination of radical union lawyer Craig Becker<\/a> to a seat on the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the quasi-judicial agency that administers federal labor law.\u00a0 Becker’s writings indicated a willingness to impose the card check forced unionism mechanism through NLRB rules, without even a Congressional vote.\n<\/p>\n

\nBut despite this setback union officials aren’t giving up on card check, and neither are the forced unionism proponents in the Obama Administration.\u00a0 The Daily Caller<\/i> reports<\/a> that White House staffers are considering a new executive order that could effectively require all federal contractors to submit their workers to coercive card check campaigns:\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n\tCritics say the proposals would heavily favor unionized companies and significantly increase the cost and amount of time needed to award contracts. Estimates have the potential cost increase at 20 percent, adding about $100 billion a year to the federal budget.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMaking contracting decisions based on political or ideological litmus tests will waste taxpayer dollars and limit economic growth\u00a0at a time when we can least afford to do so. The administration\u2019s new rules amount to a backdoor attempt at card check. The last thing our small businesses need is to be saddled with new rules that effectively say \u2018unionize or die,\u2019\u201d said John Hart, communications director for Senator Tom Coburn, Oklahoma Republican. Coburn and four other Senate Republicans sent a letter to Office of Management and Budget Director Peter Orszag last week asking for a briefing on the proposals; they have yet to receive a response.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\t…\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\tNow the administration is facing increasing pressure to go around Congress and implement pro-labor policies via executive order. The Service Employees International Union, one of the groups lobbying the White House to adopt the new labor policies, did not respond to multiple requests for comment.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nNo surprises here: SEIU czar Andy Stern was the most frequest visitor<\/a> to the White House in Obama’s first year.\n<\/p>\n
