He needs to put the Employee Free Choice Act on his short list. He's a co-sponsor, and it's sorely needed to restore the middle class in this country.
[The Employee Free Choice Act will close some of the loopholes that employers use to keep unions out by firing workers during the election process, disrespecting a "yes" vote with endless appeals and foot-dragging, etc. Union-busting has become a billion-$$ consulting industry, and has helped with the erosion of wages and loss of employer-paid family health care coverage.]
Disclosure: Lifelong union member here, pretty much in utero and since. Now I work for the Longshore Workers. Imagining this country without unions scares the #$% out of me.
