The Hill: Legislators, take note: Voters cross-check card check

There was seemingly one loud message from last week’s election: Washington, get out of the way! But there were important footnotes in the voters’ pink slip for the last Congress, and incoming legislators would do well to heed the public’s desire for big government and big labor to step back and allow the free enterprise system and job creators to get our economy moving again. One of the signature issues of the election was the misnamed “Employee Free Choice Act” and its “card check” provision that would have effectively eliminated private ballot voting for employees deciding whether to join a union.
