President signs orders he says should 'level the playing field for unions
Edited on Fri Jan-30-09 01:02 PM by dcsmart

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama signed a series of executive orders Friday that he said should "level the playing field" for labor unions in struggles with management.

Obama also used the occasion at the White House to formally announce a new White House task force on the problems of middle-class Americans, and installed Vice President Joe Biden as its chairman.

In another move favorable to organized labor, the president signed three executive orders that union officials say will undo Bush administration policies that favored employers over workers.
