A hostile takeover of American business
Posted by Raven on October 6th, 2008
Obama supports this legislation:
What’s so bad about the “Employee Free Choice Act”? The name is positively Orwellian: instead of preserving workers’ ability to make the decision to unionize by secret ballot, it does just the opposite. The bill makes it much easier to create a union at a business — the union bosses can publicly pressure a majority of workers to sign union authorization cards (thus, the name “card check”). There is no secret ballot — workers sign the cards in front of other employees and union leaders, and union officials keep the signed cards until they obtain the required number. Under the watchful eyes (and arm twisting) of union organizers, workers will be intimidated into signing.
If this turns into law, we will see our jobs end. Businesses will send them oversees where labor is cheaper; our competitiveness will decrease and unemployment will as well. Think we’re in for hard times now with the current financial crisis? Wait until this Card Check BS comes to life.
Workers have rights. They also have choice- FREE choices. With this bill, that freedom will be gone along with jobs.
