Specter and Card Check

Even though Arlen Specter says he remains opposed to card check, he could still support some watered-down version of the legislation to win over unions as he seeks the Democratic nomination. Remember, in his statement announcing his opposition to the measure, he proposed other pro-union reforms and left himself open to reconsider card check in the future. He said: "If efforts are unsuccessful to give Labor sufficient bargaining power through amendments to the NLRA, then I would be willing to reconsider Employees’ Free Choice legislation when the economy returns to normalcy."

Stay tuned.
