James Sherk says unions are powerless on CNBC
While talking about the UAW GM strike, but the question was about unions in general.
And yes you read that right, Bradley Fellow in Labor Policy at the Heritage Foundation, James Sherk. (James and I both went to Hillsdale College and were on the debate team together, so I think it’s hilarious to see him on TV. And he’s probably been on TV bunches before, but this is the first I’ve seen.)
Not trying to say he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, because he assuredly does. Along with BeardofWisdom poster Will, he is one of the two people who seemed to know something about everything.
Anyway, watch the video here.
My favorite line is:
Reporter: “Have we sort of written unions off and they actually have a lot more power than we give them credit for?”
James Sherk: “Not really.”
Ahh, James. Never one to pull punches.
