Whom do you think pulls their puppet-strings? Neither shows much interest in prosecuting economic fraud, neither shows much interest in prosecuting pollution, neither shows much interest in protecting worker safety. It remains to be seen if Obama will do anything more than talk inre to union rights, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
