Secret Ballots? Who Needs ‘Em?

As union chief John Sweeney continues to whine over the National Labor Relations Board’s recent workers’ rights victories, Big Labor bosses are meeting with Democrat officials today to press for passage of the horribly misnamed “Employee Free Choice Act.”

 

Sweeney Whining

 

The Wall Street Journal covered the story, stating that labor officials from around the world have convened in Washington as part of a global push to make it easier for unions to corral workers into union ranks by imposing the “card check” instant organizing scam.

The card check instant organizing process is opposed by most Americans because it curtails employees’ freedom to choose whether or not to unionize and strips workers of the limited protections of a government-supervised secret ballot election.

For more information about the harmful affects of in-your-face card check schemes on employees, check out these studies conducted by the National Institute for Labor Relations Research.

"Kryptonite for America's Workers"

The AFL-CIO hierarchy has taken its latest beef with Right to Work attorneys' victory for employees up with the International Labor Organization (ILO). About the complaint, AFL-CIO chief John Sweeney says:

"The Bush NLRB is kryptonite for America's workers."

This is like Lex Luthor complaining that his kryptonite doesn't work well enough. While the recent Dana victory was an encouraging step forward for employee freedom, the Bush NLRB still has lots of work left to do.

And as we see everyday, compulsory unionism abuse is the real kryptonite for America's workers.
