Wall Street Journal Article: President Tells Unions Organizing Act Will Pass (may require subscription)
President Obama told the AFL-CIO union that the Employee Free Choice Act will pass. I guess its clear now where the President stands.
Other interesting items from the article:
"Separately, on Wednesday, the AFL-CIO is expected to ask the administration to take a controlling stake in banks that receive government funding and a more active role in restructuring their balance sheets."
"Organized labor plans to mobilize workers in states where support is weakest among Democratic lawmakers, lobby lawmakers directly and get companies that support the bill to endorse it publicly. Labor leaders didn't name companies targeted in this effort."
Maybe my nutty conspiracy theory isn't so nutty.
