Reply #7: The way I understand it if you have a workplace [View All]

[doc03]

with say 100 people you go to people to sign a card. You have 45 sign the card so then the people that are backing the Union will know who didn't sign. Then the Union and its backers will know who they need to (convince) to sign the card. That is not democracy in my opinion. The organizer isn't going to be going to the membership and saying we are going to have a secret ballot vote on Union representation. To claim you aren't taking the secret ballot away is just BS to me. The link for the EFCA doesn't work. But the AFL summary says exactly what I said when a majority of the workers sign a card the company has to recognize the Union, it says absolutely nothing about any secret ballot. I have E-mailed both my Senators and my Congressman saying I oppose the bill. Convince me I am wrong about the Union intimidating workers if they chose to.
