Gen. Abbot "springs" into action on right to work

Roddy Stinson prints Attorney General Abbot's reaction to his story about "an El Paso security guard, Juan Vielma, (who) was suspended from his job at a federal immigration and Customs center because he refused to join a union. He was without pay and benefits while he battled his employer and the union over whether the center was a federal 'enclave' and not subject to Texas' right-to-work law."

While there is a claim that they were working on this "complicated" case, the letter does not apparently refer to their original letter to Mr. Vielma telling him to take his claim to the NLRB. It turns out that is what he did with the help of the Virginia-based National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation.

The AG's office is now investigating the matter. It is too bad they did not work with Mr. Vielma earlier, but perhaps they can now benefit from the work his lawyers did. A Texan's right to work should be taken seriously.

Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
