Bless your heart! I was wondering if anyone had any clue as to what this is all about. Since there are few who seem to read the entire article, I will post the pertinent information.
“A larger dispute behind the scenes also was a cause for the inaction, and the deal announced Thursday does not address it.
Republicans oppose a recent National Mediation Board decision backed by Democrats that makes it easier for airline employees to unionize.
The board’s ruling made passage of a vote to unionize dependent on getting more than 50% support of those voting. For example, if a company has 1,000 workers but only 200 take part in the vote to unionize, the rule change would meant only 101 “yes” votes were needed for it to pass.
Under old rules, more than 50% of all workers eligible to vote — or in this example 501 “yes” votes — would have been required for it to pass. Workers who didn’t cast ballots were counted as having voted “no,” making it more difficult for supporters to succeed.”
It’s CARD CHECK...that’s the issue.
