PA Sen Spector has suddenly realized, at least momentarily, that he is a Republican and announced that he will not vote for card check. At least, not at this time.
WASHINGTON -- In a setback for organized labor, Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter said Tuesday he will oppose a bill that makes it easier for workers to form unions.
Specter was the only Republican to support the Employee Free Choice Act two years ago and unions were hoping he might be the crucial 60th vote needed to overcome an expected GOP filibuster of the measure when it's taken up this summer.
