you slammed the federal labor boards approval of a new union for the bergdorf goodman shoe departmenttell me what micro unions are and why are you opposed to them? guest: we have had a labor law for the over 80 years. 70% of the votes went favorably for those unions. but the national labor reproliferations board just approved last week a request by local 1102 in new york to organize the shoe department in bergdorf goodman. just the shoe department. not towels. not linen, not lingerie. not barbecue grills, nothing, just shoes. if we go to that principle and start organizing companies in micro unions then you have the ability to cross-train workers in stores. you'll have work stoppages. you'll have all kinds of problems. if local 1102 wants to organize, they would organize the entire store. let everybody vote. but you cannot put business in a situation where they have to respond to fifth and second floor shoe department organizations when the rest of the company is not organized. this is a huge threat to retail. it's a huge threat to large distribution. it's a reach way too far and it b
