With Obama Win, Big Labor Feels Its Oats

[Geee]

Investors Business Daily:

Big Labor: Is the United States becoming another France, with daily strikes not a bug but a feature? Sure looks like it, with a surge of union actions in the wake of Obama's re-election. Guess who pays?

On Wednesday, the busiest travel day of the year, 1,000 Service Employees International Union airport workers opted to strike at Los Angeles International Airport, forcing two-hour delays.

In Portland, Ore., another 1,000 port guards belonging to the International Longshore and Warehouse Union shut down the Port of Portland, driving time-sensitive Christmas season cargo to other ports.

And on the retail industry's critical Black Friday, union activists plan to strike at Wal-Mart, a company whose workers they have tried to force into unions for years. All of this follows the 5,000 bakery union workers at Hostess Brands, whose strike forced their company to liquidate.
