Card Check Controls the Means of Production
July 30th, 2009 | by BGuzzardi |
Card Check’s Mandatory Government Imposed Contract is a means of controlling production by controlling Labor. Labor is controlled by Union Organizers and their interests may not be in the interest of all workers and may not be in interest of raising standard of living by making more goods and services available at lower prices.
Controlling the means of production by controlling the terms of employer employee relationship, previously a freely bargained relationship, is called Communism. The State does not have to have title to means of production; it only has to use means of controlling production, in this case, a government imposed contract controlling wages, hiring and firing.
Currently, unions are free to strike, but employers are free to resist their demands as long as they want. The card check bill would require, after only 120 days of bargaining, a federal arbitrator to step in and impose a settlement. A centralized bureaucrat, not responsible to shareholders (or to union leaders), would determine wages, fringe benefits and working conditions. There would evidently be no appeal.
