At any other moment, such a statement would probably pass by without raising a fuss. But now, when even Democrats in deep blue states are having to roll the unions’ power back, and Big Labor owns the Obama White House, and is killing jobs in South Carolina via the NLRB while threatening state right-to-work laws?
