Childers Card Check: 2009 No - 2008 Yes

Lots of blogtivity on Travis Childers and union policies. First the news from the Daily Journal - Senators, Childers voice opposition to 'card check' bill:

Sens. Thad Cochran and Roger Wicker, both Republicans, and 1st District Rep. Travis Childers, a Democrat, all confirmed Tuesday they will vote against the proposed Employee Free Choice Act.

"I plan to vote against the current card check bill," Childers said in a statement.

"In these uncertain times, I'm very concerned that a wide range of small business leaders believe this will hurt job creation and economic development efforts in our region. There may be parts of the country where this measure will not have the same impact it will have here in north Mississippi, but my job is to put the 1st Congressional District first."

Robert Shaffer, president of the Mississippi AFL-CIO, said in a telephone interview, "He (Childers) told me a lot of the people in his district were opposed to it."

Shaffer said the Mississippi AFL-CIO supported Childers in the 2008 general election. "How he votes (on card check) won't make any difference," said Shaffer, who called Childers "a good fellow."

MajorityInMississippi asks whether Chameleon Childers will be red or blue today on labor issues, and also posts a campaign flyer from 2008 that has Childers as pro-card check.

Either Childers lied to labor to get their support, or labor has been lying to rally their troops.

UPDATE: Majority In Mississippi has added this: Well, He’s A Good Fellow…
