Unions do not create jobs, they destroy them. The higher the rate of unionization, the worse the local economy (see Michigan for example). In today's world-wide labor market, unions can't save jobs, they only pay a few people a whole lot of money, rather than a whole lot of people slightly-less money than the high.
As Tigerhawk points out
"If the "jobs bill" contains card check unionization, it will be a "jobs bill" only insofar as it destroys them."
The more businesses that unionize, the higher the wages, and the wages will be paid at a scale that's worth more than their actual skills. So, less people will be hired or they will offshore the jobs.
HotAir talks about the secret strategy of Big Labor to unionize the world. Their plan is that "the the card-check legislation or key parts of it could be placed into a larger jobs bill this year." Then, only 51 Dems need to vote for the Bill, rather than the filibuster-proof 60 Democrats.
Side-note: ummm, what happened to the first 'jobs' bill.
