The AFL-CIO is about to get a new president, Richard Trumka. He’s a very nice man — as long as you don’t do anything that gets in the way of union hegemony. If you do, you’d better watch out, as this post on National Right to Work’s blog indicates.

Imagine if the U.S. Chamber of Commerce selected as its president someone with a history of condoning violence. You’d never hear the end of it from the mainstream media.
