As I understand it, the Obama administration is using the Stimulus Bill, the ObamaCare bills, and funds in grants from Homeland Security to pressure recipients of federal funds into using union labor and paying union labor wage rates. They are being quite overt in their favoritism of unions. I very much hope that many Americans will resist these pressures adamantly.Charles R.

Pressure you yes, but the backlash of anything considered mandatory or the ring of the " peoples labor party" would put a unwanted microscope on the unions and fuel the fires of resentment and condemnation. Democrats would further shoot themselves in the foot to force any kind of unionization on first responders, these folks got backbones and mostley an attitude of community service that translates into being a proud American who can and does make the hard choices for better or worse, but will die or live standing behind these choices.<br />RonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
