Here’s an item that no doubt rankles supporters of the Employee Free Choice Act. Steve Patterson–who once served as Arkansas Sen. Blanche Lincoln’s Chief of Staff, and is now managing her 2010 re-election campaign–appeared before the group Benton County Democratic Women on Monday to praise his boss for ‘voicing concerns’ about the bill.

According to the Benton County Daily Record, “[l]ast month, the club welcomed AFL-CIO representative Amy Niehouse, who spoke about the EFCA and described the benefits to workers and communities when workers choose to organize a union.”

Apparently an aide to Blanche Lincoln is the obvious counterpoint to this.
