Trumka: We're Getting Card Check in Obama's Second Term

Mr Trumka is just one example of the type of non-American our President associates with. One succeeds on one's own ability. Why is a jerk like him necessary to move one ahead in life. Card check is just another way to sink private enterprise and lose freedom for the individual.

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka is looking forward to some "flexibility" in a second Obama term should the president win tomorrow. Trumka told the Atlantic an Obama re-election will bring back card check, or in other words, the elimination of a secret ballot for union members.

"[...] You'll see it," he says. "That's within the next term." How is that possible, without a Democratic House of Representatives or 60 votes in the Senate? Trumka smiles. His eyes twinkle.

"There's another election between now and then," he says. And the AFL-CIO isn't going anywhere.
