Labor's "To Do" List

Dmitri Iglitzin, a union-side labor lawyer out of Seattle, has a terrific article on TomPaine.com that sets forth a proposed political agenda for the labor movement. Here's his "Top 7":
  1. Enact the Employee Free Choice Act
  2. Enact the RESPECT Act (see the last post)
  3. Equalize union organizers' access to employees during organizing campaigns
  4. Insist on labor standards in future free trade agreements and improve those in existing agreements
  5. Extend collective bargaining rights to supervisors
  6. Repeal the NLRA's "Right to Work" provision
  7. Repeal the Taft-Hartley Act's ban on "secondary boycotts"
