The labor policies of the Obama administration and the Democratic Party controlled Congress are being praised in certain quarters. Some see this praise as an indication of the Democrats’ true agenda.
The appointment of Hilda Solis as Labor Secretary was noted with accolades on the Web site of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA). A story written yesterday by Joelle Fishman, chair, Political Action Committee, CPUSA, said, “The appointment of Hilda Solis as Secretary of Labor with an overwhelming vote despite right-wing opposition, is a great victory to celebrate this International Women’s Day. It is no wonder that Hilda Solis, born into a working class, union, immigrant family, a leader of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, was given a standing ovation on her first day at work in the Labor Department. What a breath of fresh air after years of being run as an anti-labor, anti-union department under Reagan and Bush.”
The CPUSA has also been a longtime supporter for the Employee Free Choice Act — also known as card check.
During both the 2000 and the 2004 election, the CPUSA was vehemently opposed to Bush’s reelection because of his opposition to card check.
The Democratic Socialists of America is also a strong supporter of the of card check.
Pillar No. 3 of their “Economic Justice Agenda” is to have a strong labor movement. One of the things needed for this is card check.
According to the DSA Web site, “ We need to pass the Employee Free Choice Act, which would give card check union recognition, so that when majority of employees in a company sign union cards, you would have a union, without having to go through an election, with all the opportunity that that gives to employers to bring in union busters and use every legal and illegal trick in the book to fight the union.”
Some Democrats have wavered in their support for the law. But party leaders have vowed to bring it up for a vote.
They’re all commie pinko symps.
Just beautiful. Makes you feel real good about the Democrat electorate and who they support. It is getting very ugly.
Hello Mike. Long time no read. Glad to see that you are keeping up the good fight.

No way, the commies support card check, who wouldda thunk it. Sheesh
the chicoms are going capitalist,
and we’re going commie.
I’ve put off getting a concealed weapon permit for quite a while. This Communist union “card check” bill has convinced me that “it’s time.”
Symps? Solis is a commie and this moron is a fascist and there isn’t much difference. They seek to compel our behavior.
Domestic enemies thinking it’s their time is all
