AFL-CIO Survey: 73% Support Employee Free Choice
The AFL-CIO is releasing a survey today highlighting public support for the Employee Free Choice Act.
Highlights:
-- Support is widespread, 73% polled were in favor, including 69% of independents and 74% of moderate/liberal Republicans.
-- A demographic caution for the GOP -- 76% of Hispanics back the measure, which would require employers to recognize unions once a majority of their workers sign cards of support.
-- Seven of 10 adults in right to work states endorse the plan.
Pres.-elect Barack Obama was a firm backer during the campaign, and unions are pushing hard for the measure, but business groups are opposed. And the initiative could spark one of the most divisive political debates of the new Congress.
The telephone poll of 1,007 adults was conducted by Hart Research Associates.from 12/4 to 12/10, 2008. The margin of error is 3.2 percentage points.

I think you are thinking like sukrat, but I think you should cover the other side of the topic in the post too...
