Ken Cuccinelli speaking in Stafford Regional Airport, bragging about his opposition to ALL collective bargaining:

Yeah, here’s the thing about that:
In the United States, the National Labor Relations Act (1935) covers most collective agreements in the private sector. This act makes it illegal for employers to discriminate, spy on, harass, or terminate the employment of workers […]
