Union organizing law: Ditched in the Senate?

Union organizing law: Ditched in the Senate?Newsday.com

Today labor activist Jonathan Tasini raises in this blog post the withdrawal by U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) of support for the Employee Free Choice Act, promoted as making it easier for unions to organize members. Specter's move is seen as a big setback for the bill. As recently reported here, Rep. Peter King of Seaford is another Republican who had supported the measure in the past but does not now.
