Bonior, now the chair of the labor research and advocacy group American Rights at Work, is urging AlliedBarton employees to organize through a “card check” campaign. Under that approach, employers are allowed, but not required, to recognize unions once a majority of workers signs authorization forms. These “card checks” allow organizers to avoid holding elections through the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB)—which Bonior blasted as “fraudulent, unfair, and unjust.” He warned that NLRB elections can be held up for years...

...than in the first act, but nonetheless compels the audience with their astonishing synchronization. Of all characters, however, Joel Prouty as Sancho Panza and Mindaugas Bauzys as Don Quixote are the audience’s favorites.

...Another approach, practiced by an Iranian-American friend of mine, is the "keeping secrets" method. This involves teaching your kids that the values you teach at home - that alcohol is alright in moderation, that satellite television is acceptable, that a divorced mother has the right to date - are part of a special, private world of which they should never speak outside. This makes a value out of privacy, and sidesteps the delicate task of teaching why it's okay to lie in certain situations, but not in others. None of this wards off the day your son returns home...

...approach to books as yet another product to be marketed has its downside. In some ways, “Mindless Eating” is intellectual instant gratification, the literary equivalent to delicious but airy cotton candy. Though Wansink explores the possible implications of the studies for weight loss strategies, he never considers any of the greater implications...
