Card Check - Fun With Quizzes
by Brad Peck
I was one of many who were amazed at boldness of the SEIU in misrepresenting the Wall Street Journal's editorial "Unionize or Die." Now today, courtesy of Carter Wood at ShopFloor, my amazement has turned to disbelief:
So imagine our surprise to see the same misrepresentation to be the lead item on the House Education and Labor Committee’s homepage, a piece headlined, "Take Chairman Miller’s Quiz of the Week." There’s a slight nod to the editing through the use of the ellipsis, but otherwise, it’s the same distortion of the WSJ’s point.
...
When propagandizing, organized labor has only a passing acquaintance with the facts. One expects the bluster, bullying, lies, etc., although the SEIU’s distortion was unusually obvious. But when a major committee with direct legislative authority over the issue endorses and spreads this misrepresentation, well, it is a shock.
The closing line says it all, but since Miller's blogger likes quizzes so much, let me suggest one:
Who said: “we feel that the secret ballot is absolutely necessary in order to ensure that workers are not intimidated into voting for a union they might not otherwise choose"?
- The U.S. Chamber of Commerce
- The National Association of Manufacturers
- National Right to Work Committee
- Rep. George Miller
Answer here, or with commentary here, here, here, here, here or here -- the gift of hypocrisy just keeps on giving; like union campaign donations to Mr. Miller.
// Update: They actually sent this out as a Committee E-Newsletter. Crazy games.
