Here Come the Unions by Claire Berlinski, City Journal 17 October 2008
If the Democratic Party wins a filibuster-proof Senate majority on Election Day, it likely will pass the Employee Free Choice Act. The EFCA is reminiscent of trade union legislation passed in Great Britain during Margaret Thatcher’s tenure as prime minister—except that it would work exactly in reverse. And its effects, too, would be exactly the reverse of the stunning economic growth over which Thatcher presided.
Nobody will have contributed as much effort, bodies, and treasure to Hussien’s victory (and the rest of the Democrat ticket, as well) as the unions. And nobody will demand - and get - as large a payoff.
