Today the AFL-CIO announced its latest PR blitz in favor of the so-called Employee Free Choice Act. They claim that over 1,000 employers support the Employee Free Choice Act and have launched a website to state the case called Fair Economy Now. I know you’ll find it shocking, but the Chairman of this front group is CEO of American Income Life Insurance Company whose employees – according to a quick LRI Online search – turns out are represented by OPEIU Local 277. It’s easy to see why once you’re stuck with a union why you’d want to make sure everyone else was too – but I wonder how many non-union employers are on the list of 1,000 Employee Free Choice Act Supporters? I’m guessing not many.
