Employee Free Choice Act Will Protect the Rights of Working Families

Secret ballots are key to a free democratic voting system. There is zero justification for this; and any attempt to try and remove this protection is just plain wrong. How a person votes is nobody's business but their own. You are truly the cliche union thug.

Intimidation, bribery, and pideonholery are your aims for controlling the vote. Shame on you all. The "working people, " as you put it, are often FORCED into union membership; which spends tons of money trying to buy politicians and policy, often unrelated to their particular industry. If you are worried about the people having competitive wages; then how about working on trade restrictions with countries that offer slave wages? American workers cannot compete with slavery and sweatshops...

Why do unions need the government to write laws that give them the upper hand in bargaining? If the union and the private business can't work it out; fire your union leadership and start again.

This type of law and argument is truly disgusting.

Without the secret ballot you make it easier for the mafia to find and intimidate those who don't want to join the union. Forced unionization upon those who don't want to join is a crime against liberty.

How can you possibly claim that a system whereby everyone – your employer, your union organizer, and your co-workers – knows exactly how you vote is better? What a joke this man is.

You guys do understand that the way it works now, everyone knows not how you voted but whether you filled out a card to get an secret ballot election. So although the election its may be secret, the current process is anything but secret. Anti-union management uses that to intimidate workers from filling out cards to even get an election.
