George Will has an interesting editorial in today’s Washington Post. In it he lays out what he believes will be some of the key components of a second Bush administration’s labor agenda – that is, to help reverse the several-decades trend of growing public sector union membership by slashing the number of federal employees. If recent (failed) attempts to keep Homeland Security workers out of unions are any indication, Will is probably on target. If there is a coattail effect in November (assuming of course it is Bush’s coattails that are heading back to Washington), unions probably have good reason to be worried.
