<<As for the traditional union adversarial stance, all I think you have to do is look at history to understand how that position has evolved. >> This is changing. As technology permeates the business environment, labor will be viewed as more intellectual capital, a limited resource.

Oxymoron of the day: "Union democracy": Freedom of assembly Some bureaucrats are up in arms over word that the Rev. Al Sharpton has been invited to deliver an address at Labor Department headquarters this week. Top Stories "The union membership strongly voted it down, but the union [leadership] said he is coming anyway. That's the way the union works," says our union source in Labor. Local 12 of the American Federation of Government Employees tentatively has scheduled Mr. Sharpton's appearance for 11 a.m. Wednesday. No word on the Sharpton visit from newly confirmed Labor Secretary Elaine Chao, who made an appearance before a similar union gathering at Labor headquarters on Thursday. "He won't get the reception she did," our source says of the black activist and labor secretary. "She got two standing ovations." It was Mr. Sharpton who issued a warning in the wake of President Bush's election that "this can end up as a black-and-white issue," referring to charges that blacks were kept away from the polls in Florida. Mr. Sharpton later led a "shadow inauguration" on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court building, calling on participants to take a vow to uphold the Voting Rights Act, which he felt was abridged during the presidential election. washtimes.com The union thugs will pay the phony reverend and then the phony reverend will run around calling everyone that doesn't agree with the socialist agenda of the Dem/Big Labor Party, "racists".
