More ‘Gangster Government’ as Obama appointees rewrite the rules for airline unions

Subject: txt crpt -
In last week’s primary election in North Carolina, Democrats failed to select a Senate nominee. Elaine Marshall finished first and Cal Cunningham second, but the failure of either candidate to reach the 40 percent threshold means that the two must face each other once again in a runoff next month.

Imagine what would happen if the governor of North Carolina stepped into this situation and decided, unilaterally, to change the rules so that Marshall can win with her plurality rather than a majority.

This is essentially what Democratic appointees on an obscure labor panel have done to the airline industry, the Associated Press reports. As a huge favor to the unions that want to organize Delta Airlines, the least unionized major airline in a heavily (two-thirds) unionized airline industry, they have effectively lowered the threshold of employee support for unionizing airlines.

This collusion from the Obama administration comes only after repeated, failed attempts by unionists to take over at Delta under the current rules on union elections...
