A spokersperson for Sen. Blanche Lincoln says the Arkansas senator hasn't decided how to vote on the Employee Free Choice Act, or card check.
"It was not her intention to make comments that would suggest opposition to the bill," said Katie Laning Niebaum, the spokesperson. "She believes the bill should go through the normal legislative process and she will not be taking a position until that time. So, to be clear, she remains undecided on the bill."
I'm not sure how influential Rev. Al Sharpton is these days, but he told his radio audience this afternoon that he opposes card check because a non-secret-ballot process could potentially create undue pressures for minority workers in majority-white work environments, and it could foist contracts on them that they would not otherwise support.
