Employee Free Choice Act

[MODU]

If the Dems don't gain a 60 seat advantage in the Senate (it will be close), then this thing might not become law.  However, if they do, then say hello to the new era of "the union."

As far as this being a good thing, no.  The bill is horrendous since it trumps the States right to be right-to-work states while making it next to impossible for a business to not accept a union if a group of the employees demand one.  And that doesn't even go into the part about non-secret ballots.

In 2003 State Sen. Obama was one of the yes votes that made this law in IL. It was a close vote, and I believe it failed on the first attempt in the Senate that year.

I floors me that people would actually support this.

[MODU]

This legislation doesn't strip people the right to a secret-ballot election.

And if it did you'd be against it?

No, I'd still support it.

Why?  What is gained by making someone publically state their vote?

[MODU]

Businesses should have to be forced to adapt to new hardships...the Government should stop selling itself to the latfundii.
