Obama & Labor: Better Late Than Never | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: This was expected, which was why the GOP prevented so many appointments for so long - or left them un-filled by labor-friendly folk (but I recall they were empty precisely because if prompted to do something, it might just be the right thing - and big business can't have that).  Of course, ask any GOP stalwart if Bush was anti-labor and they will deny it. (this is not a call for rebuttals - our current economy is based on GOP economic policy - nothing Obama did).  Now, as for the trade deals, it depends on what Obama agrees to.  If he can impose conditions that make things better for both our workers and workers on the other side, especially in China, then lets see what happens. While he is the one with the massive debt, he is also the one with the nukes and 3 million men and women under arms.
