Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) was finally sworn in to the U.S. Senate on July 9, giving the Democrats the 60-vote block they need to override procedural hurtles on controversial legislation such as the so-called "Employee Free Choice Act" (H.R.1409/S.560). While several key Democrats continue to hold firm in opposition to the card check legislation as currently written, Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA) continues to press for support of a "compromise" that will garner enough votes to bring the legislation to the Senate floor before the end of the month. Dealers who are concerned about legislation that undermines the employee-employer bargaining relationship should visit www.BuildtheVote.org to remind your Senators to hold firm in opposition to card check legislation in any form.
