Speaking of redefining words, the AFL-CIO is indeed in rare form:

The battle for the Employee Free Choice Act moves to the 2008 election after a handful of obstructionist senators have blocked a vote on the bill. On a vote of 51-48, the Senate voted for cloture, that is, shutting off debate. Sixty votes were needed to invoke cloture and end the debate and move to a vote on the bill. So even though a majority of the Senate voted for cloture, a small group of Republicans denied workers a free choice to join a union.

Words have meaning, or they do outside the halls of organized labor.  What AFL-CIO calls the Employee Free Choice Act is an anti-democratic measure intended to strip working men and women of their right to secret ballot.

What the AFL-CIO calls a “small group of Republicans” consistute forty-eight percent of the Senate.   Don Surber links to a RSCC video which explains the democrat party shearr opposition to free choice.  The democrats, the best party money can buy.
