The readers’ forum section in West Virginia’s Charleston Gazette featured a great commentary from one local reader about the so-called “Employee Free Choice Act,” a bill that would lead to even more union intimidation during organizing drives. The following was his response after one AFL-CIO union boss claimed that “employees are not being allowed to join unions.”

“The Employee Free Choice Act is not for employees. It is for unions, period. Under that proposed act, unions can get employees signed up on union cards, even in a pizza parlor after three beers, before three or four other pushy union officials.”

Following up on last week’s post on Big Labor’s push for mandating coercive “card check” organizing, the New York Post had a great article about the dangers of the so-called “Employee Free Choice Act.”

Tim Miller wrote this after one presidential hopeful promised to go “10 rounds with anybody” in order to help union officials:

“EFCA would strip employees of the right to a secret ballot vote, and make it much easier for union organizers to push employees into union membership - which in turn means more dollars for labor leaders.

In other words, ‘going 10 rounds with anybody’ involves sucker-punching working Americans.”

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

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.”

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.
