Big Labor had high-hopes for President Barack Obama. On their wishlist was the misnamed Employee Free Choice Act, also known as card-check, which would likely bolster their ranks by removing worker protections, allowing organizers to bully them into signing off on forming a union.
Legislation was introduced in both chambers, but never made it out of committee, despite Democrats holding sizeable majorities.Republicans managed to take the House in the 2010 mid-term election, stalling any hope unions had of pushing the bill through Congress, which became a sore spot for union leaders.
