Thom Hartmann: Why the "Employee Rights Act" is really wrong
Neal Asbury, The Legacy Companies, joins Thom Hartmann. A basic right that will be under attack tonight during the South Carolina Republican Presidential debate - not just by candidates on stage - but also in the form of TV commercials as part of a $10 million campaign by the right-wing Center for Union Facts - to undermine unions across America. The organization is pushing for the so-called Employee Rights Act - a piece of legislation that would make it much harder for workers to start or keep a union, and much easier for employers to bust one up. It's the right-wing opposite of the Employee Free Choice Act, or "card check" - which makes it easier for employees to unionize. So the question is - should it be harder or easier for American workers to unionize?
