Blogging on Squall Lines Bob Smith notes that Gov. Perdue has issued an order that state agencies are to meet with labor unions.

North Carolina is one of the few states that has never bowed to Big Labor’s demand for public sector collective bargaining. Could it be that Bev is playing footsie with the unions in exchange for money and muscle to help the Democrats hang on to the General Assembly?

Anyone have any further information?

BTW, Bob graciously mentions my book on the history of the Right to Work Movement.
