Card check isn’t the only item on the labor unions’ wish list. The Washington Times reports that the House may take up the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and the Paycheck Fairness Act, both parts of the labor agenda. The first bill would overturn a 2007 Supreme Court decision that required people who were suing for employment discrimination to follow the statute of limitations. The second bill mandates that businesses justify pay differentials between men and women, stopping just short of the comparable worth idea that if predominantly male truckdrivers are paid differently than predominantly female nurses, the difference must be due to discrimination.
I discuss both pieces of legislation and their importance to the labor unions in the December 2008 issue of Labor Watch (pdf).

Counting the Costs of Clintonism
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

Ah - "fairness"! Finally we will have a sure way to nationalize the remaining private enterprise companies. Card ckeck will unionize them first, and thus bring them to bankruptcy - just like they did it to steel, automobile, textile, electronics, computer, and let us not forget the education industry. Then the Fair Pay Check - finally a cleaning woman will earn as much as a nuclear quality welder! A design engineer man as much as a woman drafter! Social justice - indeed!
