"'Card check' best hope for auto workers union? Congress to vote on Employee Free Choice Act to make unionization easier." ... "Congress returns after Thanksgiving to decide whether to approve a $25 billion loan to General Motors, Chrysler, and Ford. The future of United Auto Workers members in Michigan and other states is at stake." ... "“It appears to me we possibly have one too many auto makers,” said [Tennessee Republican Senator] Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn.[ Republican-Tennessee], who opposes the loan [and recommends Chapter 11 bankruptcy]." ... "But it will be an industry in which fewer workers are represented by the United Auto Workers. And that doesn’t cause Republicans like [Alabama Republican Senator] Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala.[ Republican-Alabama], any regret." ... "One advantage the [Japanese and South Korean auto manufacturers] Honda and Hyundai plants in Alabama have over the General Motors, Chrysler, and Ford plants in Michigan is lower labor costs. That's because, in part, auto workers in Michigan are represented by the UAW and workers in Alabama aren’t." ... "But what if the UAW [United Auto Workers] could more easily organize workers at Honda and Hyundai? UAW-represented workers at Honda and Hyundai could then bargain for higher wages." ... "The Employee Free Choice Act, passed by the House of Representatives last year, but stymied in the Senate, aims to make unionization easier by allowing workers to join a union by signing a card rather than by going through a secret-ballot election. The bill is called “card check” for short." ... "A UAW ally, [Ohio Democratic Representative] Rep. Tim Ryan, D[Democratic]- Ohio, said enactment of the Employee Free Choice Act “would level the playing field. Each facility would be competing on the same playing field.”" ... "In the vote next year, Republicans up for re-election in 2010, such as [Ohio Republican Senator] Sen. George Voinovich of Ohio will be under pressure to vote for it." (1, 2) -By Tom Curry -MSNBC

"Voinovich, Lugar call on Bush to plan Iraq withdrawal." ... "WIn an ominous sign of wavering GOP support for the White House's Iraq strategy, two more Republican senators have called on President Bush to begin planning the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq." ... "Ohio [Republican Senator] Sen. George Voinovich sent a letter to the president today, stressing the need for a "comprehensive plan for our country's gradual military disengagement from Iraq."" ... "And Indiana [Republican Senator] Sen. Richard Lugar, the widely respected former chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, Monday evening went to the floor of the Senate to call on the president "to downsize the U.S. military's role in Iraq."" ... ""Our course in Iraq has lost contact with our vital national security interests in the Middle East and beyond," Lugar said in an anguished address that expressed deep reservations about the president's policy as well as disappointment with the highly partisan debate over the war in Washington." -By Noam N. Levey -LAtimes

"Blow for Bush over Bolton's UN post nomination." ... "George Voinovich, an Ohio senator, stunned his Republican colleagues on the Senate foreign relations committee by siding with Democrats who argued that more time was needed to vet the nomination of Mr Bolton. “I've heard enough today that I don't feel comfortable about voting for Mr Bolton,“ said Mr Voinovich." -By Demetri Sevastopulo, Guy Dinmore and Holly Yeager -FT.com |
