I don't think Obama will trash the unions.  Edwards, Obama and Clinton have positions that are pretty much identical on unions, except that Clinton's proposals don't include the ban on permanent replacement of striking workers (or maybe I'm just not seeing it on her site).

Also, in fairness to Clinton, those acts are going to be passed by Congress if the Dems hold on.  (We often forget that, while all candidates promise things, Congress has the ultimate power in the end.  Whether any of the three can achieve these plans depends wholly on Congress passing them.)  I, honestly, can't see any of the three vetoing those acts, and I do think the Dems will hold Congress and pass them.

And they will be good steps -- significant, but only steps -- in the right direction to strengthening our unions and rebuilding the middle and working classes.
