Last night's speeches by Nikki Haley and Chris Christie should have been enough to turn any voter who favors collective bargaining rights for workers away from the Republican Party. In their respective speeches, they both attacked organized labor directly.
Haley attacked the Obama Administration for its stance on the Boeing situation, in which Boeing decided to punish union workers in Washington state by moving the operation to South Carolina, which is regarded as the most anti-union state in the nation.
Christie went after his favorite target - teachers. Christie's point is dripping with irony, as it is easy to attack public education when your own children go to expensive private schools.
I haven't decided if I will vote for Jill Stein, the Green Party nominee, or stick with my earlier endorsement of Stewart Alexander on the Socialist Party USA ticket. Either is far more labor friendly than either of the nominees from the two major parties.
In Solidarity,
Joseph
