Federal rule makes joining unions easier

Washington Times "The new rule, which amends the Railway Labor Act of 1926, calls for the recognition of a union chapter if a simple majority of workers who cast ballots approve organizing. The previous rule required a majority of the entire work force to favor unionizing, which meant that workers choosing not to vote at all were effectively counted as "no" votes."
MORE STRIKES - WORSE SERVICE - THANK YOU OBAMA!  "This is huge. Yesterday, the Obama administration delivered a big, fat thank you to the unions that got him elected. Obama's National Mediation Board announced a change to a 76-year-old rule on union elections. Now you'll remember said that he was going to "fundamentally transform" America ... and this is one of the ways he's doing it."  Neal Boortz
