JUST POSTED ON TAP ONLINE: FAIR TRADE. Thomas Geoghegan has a swap in mind. He thinks the only hope for reviving the labor movement is to pass card check legislation. But what if you need to offer business something in return, so they don't go to the mat to block passage of a card check bill?
Yet it turns out that, by wild good luck, there is now something that every CEO, every CFO, every global high-flyer in every one of the fifty states -- everyone who has ever done a deal on Wall Street -- really, really wants.Read the whole thing here.It's to call off Sarbanes Oxley.
Not necessarily repeal the whole thing; just the part of it that might throw these guys in jail.
So when I say they want it, I mean they want it in a way they don't "want" free trade, or even a spiking of the death tax. They want it in the way they don't want to be Ken Lay.
They want to live. And that's what labor has to offer.
