Chamber Declares "Armageddon" Over Employee Free Choice Act

November 13, 2008

Declaring war on the Employee Free Choice Act apparently wasn't enough for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. So now they've stepped up their rhetoric.

"This will be Armageddon," said Randel Johnson, the Chamber's vice president for labor policy, quoted Sunday in the New York Times.

The Chamber is promising to fight the bill, and others backed by unions, with every weapon at its disposal. Chamber leaders are urging President-Elect Obama to focus on other matters, claiming – as always -- that the pro-worker bills would hurt business.
