REALITY CHECK IN THE CARDS: Seems as if the Democrats are going wobbily on the reviled, anti-business union-driven card check legislation which has been deemed one of the biggest political threats to the chauffeured transportation industry. In the face of near-universal opposition from the private sector, moderate Democrats are realizing they want to get re-elected. Union card-check legislation has been a priority topic at the last several LCT conferences and trade shows. Hopefully, the radical Employee Free Choice Act will be taken off the industry threat list soon; there's plenty ahead with equally destructive cap (grab) n' trade, high tax, and government health care proposals. -- M.R.
