More even than President Obama or any other elected official, top union bosses and their arm-twisting union lobbyists are responsible for Congress’s narrow votes to reconstruct America’s enormous health-care system in late 2009 and early 2010. In the fall of 2010 and again this year, voters punished vulnerable senators and representatives for doing what Big Labor had told them to do. (In the presidential election year of 2012, the union bosses’ $1.7 billion, forced dues-fueled campaign mobilization was able to get the Obama-Biden ticket reelected, but support for Right to Work actually increased in both chambers of Congress.) American voters were also undoubtedly angry with union-label incumbents for having backed compulsory dues and Big Labor power grabs specifically aimed at making it easier for union officials to secure monopoly-bargaining privileges over employees.
