Fair and Balanced…Uh, huh…

   The Wall Street Journal has a pretty conventional, yawn piece about a subject which not a yawn: trying to get some fairness back in rules governing workers’ rights and abilities to form a union at work…which is almost non-existent these days. But, what caught my eye is this:

At a House Education and the Workforce Committee hearing last Thursday, Chairman John Kline (R., Minn.) said the NLRB proposal would unnecessarily enact a sweeping change "at a time when many employers are struggling to keep their businesses open, and nearly 14 million individuals are searching for work."

Rep. George Miller (D., Calif.), the committee’s senior Democrat, aligned with labor, saying current rules "provide multiple opportunities for bad actors to purposefully delay or stop an election" that should be allowed. [emphasis added]

   So, George Miller is "aligned with labor" (which is true). But, Republican John Kline is…what, not aligned? I wrote the reporter making that observation–we’ll she if she answers back.
