Corporate America Gears up for Labor Battle

Corporate America Gears up for Labor Battle

Now that we’ve all finished celebrating Obama’s victory, it’s time to start concentrating on the real battles that lay ahead. The Financial Times of London reports:

Corporate America is preparing for a landmark political battle with the new Obama administration and a Democratic Congress over proposed labour union reforms, while expressing concerns about the direction of trade policy, healthcare and a range of other issues.

The business community has stepped up its oppositon to the union-backed Employee Free Choice Act, which Mr Obama has said he supports. It could revitalise the US labour movement by enhancing the ability of unions to organise.
