If Gov. Beebe had been stupid enough to say he was for such a change in the law , there would have been no new companies moving to Arkansas for the Unions to even attempt to organize!!

It doesn't make Arkansas a non-right to work for less state, it just simply changes the rules of the game around elections -- oh yeah you guys like the rules of the game that's right.... And the benefits of unions remain the same -- for business that means higher productivity and employees that are happy to come to work, lower issues of injury and more stability.

Gov. Beebe is right to oppose the change in the law so that Arkansas, like other States, will still have the chance to atract new industry. Union card checks are notoriously fraught with Union organizers' misrepresentations. Why do you think Unions have lost so many elections when the other side of the unionzation question is heard from management before the secret National Labor Relations Board Election is conducted?

EFCA would be horrible for Arkansas businesses. Pryor is wrong on that issue. Maybe Blanche will get that one right. I think Beebe gets it. EFCA would be horrible for Arkansas businesses.

Mike Huckabee's sins of commission and ommision regarding the sales tax on food will haunt the Repubs in AR. for decades. The AR. Dems are the real tax cutters and now own that brand.
