Mediaboss Marketing

On Thursdays broadcast of the Fox Business Networks Kudlow, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) argued Congress shouldnt have been involved in resolving a potential rail strike or labor contracts in general. And that Congress getting involved will result in both sides expecting Congress to get involved and members in Congress who didnt have time to look at all the details shouldnt override the will of workers.

Paul said, [T]he reason I voted present was sort of an old-fashioned notion that I dont think Congress should be involved with contracts, saying, oh labors right and labor should get this or I also dont think Congress should say, oh, managements right and management should get this. Negotiations in a marketplace take place voluntarily. Congress shouldnt be dictating our will. We didnt have a political election to see what your wages are. And it was my way [of] voting against the Railway Act of 1926 as well.

He added, And the more Congress gets involved, the more the other sides are going to expect this to happen. Now, we have some sort of mediation board, which would be better than Congress. Im not here to say, labor, you dont deserve this. The four unions that rejected this, I think, are half of the railway workers. Should I usurp their will and tell them no, this is what Ive decided? Nobody in Congress has time to sit down and look at every bit of the details of this.
