Blunt's Union Bashing Makes National News
The Blunt administration's anti-union bias is well established, but now it is getting national attention.
Check out this story from today's WSJ:
Several Republican governors are trying to weaken organized labor in the one place it has remained strong: representing public employees.
First-term Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt rescinded collective-bargaining rights for state employees this year, undoing an executive order issued by a Democratic predecessor, and has eliminated a state board overseeing union elections for public employees. Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, a former Bush White House budget director, overturned an executive order that for 15 years provided collective-bargaining rights for that state's public employees. And Maryland's Robert Ehrlich, backed by the state Supreme Court, suspended a 2% pay increase unions had negotiated for state employees with his predecessor.
It kind of makes you wonder why prominent labor lawyers like Ron Gladney are going around apologizing for this administration doesn't it? He's even gone so far as to give Blunt the maximum contribution and to host a fundraiser for Lt. Governor Kinder.Â
Shame on Blunt, Kinder and Gladney.
