Over at The Next Right, Soren Dayton has a post entitled "Things to Fear in an Obama Presidency." The thing to fear? Card check for unions, because it will mean more union members, which will mean more Democrats and more dues money that can go towards political action in service of working class interests. "What seems like a minor technical change," writes Dayton, "is actually something that gives them political access to potentially transformational political power." If I were the union movement, I would be sending this blog post to every Democrat in the country. Somewhat hilariously, Dayton ends saying, "The unions and their lackies in the Demcratic party are intent on a path that will destroy our productivity for a significant period of time." Yep, because that's what happened in the post-World War II era, which was also the post-unionization era: An end to productivity growth growth in this country. Funny how that period also coincided with the creation of the first national middle class, America's ascendance to unquestioned economic leadership, and the fastest, most equitable wage growth the country has ever seen.
