This is not Free Choice, it is forced choice. A union guy could walk into any one of your jobs and sit down with you and force you to unionize. Imagine that?

Read it - the actual bill that is. Its all over the radio today.

This is how it works (quit being so sketicle without due cause - try finding supporting alternate evidence instead of opinon!):

...Currently, if 30 percent of a company’s workers sign a card supporting a union, the National Labor Relations Board sets up a company-wide vote on whether to unionize.

The vote is held within 90 days, giving employers who don’t want a union time to meet with employees and argue against making such a move.

Under the proposed legislation, if half of a company’s workers sign those cards, the union is automatically formed without a full company-wide vote. Some businesses are concerned workers will be pressured to sign the cards....

Anyway, the size of a company means that if you have 2 people working there and 1 signs, you just friggen unionized without choice!!!!

That's BS!

No its not BS its just the normal right wing side of the Union Debate from you.

Let me guess you think it was a bad idea for an increase in minimum wage right?

Is this the 'card check' thing where Unions want to strip the "secret ballot"?

If so its just plain wrong. Unions using strong arm tactics again.

That passed in Maryland. Bad idea in my view. But, I do not go with union ideals or union companies.

Lighten up Zachstar. Obama is a union supporter if I'm not mistaken. I do not support unions myself. I have my reasons. But hey, if the company wants to go union, who is to stop them?
