Bush Considering Order to Ban Contractors from Allowing Card Check

President Bush's contempt for workers and unions is as strong as ever in his waning White House days, with the Wall Street Journal reporting that he is considering an executive order that would bar government contractors from allowing workers to organize through majority card check authorization.

Bush is considering the order even though it is expected to be revoked immediately if Barack Obama becomes president. The Democratic-controlled Congress could also override it and a court challenge is likely.

"Our country is in dire shape economically, we face huge challenges at home and abroad, and President Bush is wasting what little time he -- thankfully -- has left to try to stick it to workers one more time," CWA Executive Vice President Annie Hill said. "We can suffer through four more years of this, or we can elect Barack Obama president."
