The newest Bluegrass Beacon column -- released to newspapers on Thursday and which will be posted Friday on our Web site -- addresses the consequences of a proposed "card check" law.
I recently interviewed former Bush adviser and Kentucky native Scott Jennings, state director of the Coalition to Protect Kentucky Jobs, while guest hosting on the Les Naiman Show on WGTK-AM 970. The coalition is a project committed to stopping "card check" -- Big Labor's attempt to use government to increase its membership, which means more dues monies for political activity.
If passed, workers would be denied the sacred American tradition of a secret ballot when voting on whether to organize a labor union in their workplace. Other consequences include the fact that up to 600,000 jobs could be lost in the second year following passage of such a bill.
Jennings will be discussing the issue and taking your calls live at (347) 637-3086 on Louisville's Kentuckiana Grassroots Radio tonight at 6:30 p.m.

The secret ballot is one thing. The biggest thing is that the government and union hold all the trump cards to ram anything down the throat of a company in the legislative directed process. The government and union could care less about the financial strength of a company, its competitive threats, its margins or its needs. Why should they? All they are capable of doing is to intimidating, complaining and destroying the very fundamentals that made this country great. Had enough yet?
That's right, Anon! This kind of nonsensical policy will do nothing but discourage job creation and cause serious harm to America's economy.
