"Card Check" is legislation being prepared by Congress that would eliminate the secret ballot in Union organizing elections.
The secret ballot has been a cornerstone of American democracy from the very beginning. The founding fathers knew the only way to guarantee fairness in any election was for the ballot to be secret.
Liberals are great at putting names on legislation that sound "fair and logical". But don't be fooled by the term "Free Choice".
The only thing "card check" checks is how YOU voted.
Congress
wants to eliminate of the secret ballot so union
organizers can use intimidation to guarantee your compliance.
Supporters of this legislation have been changing the name around so you will not be able to track what they are doing. Card Check legislation is also know as the "Employee Free Choice Act". Here is a brief description of the legislation:
"Under the proposed Employee Free Choice Act, introduced in the United States Congress in 2005 and again in 2007, the NLRB would recognize the union's role as the official bargaining representative if a majority of employees have authorized that representation via card check, without requiring a secret ballot election. It was passed by the House on March 1, 2007, but failed a cloture vote in the Senate."
The definition of the secret ballot:
"The secret ballot is a voting method in which a voter's choices are confidential. The key aim is to ensure the voter records a sincere choice by forestalling attempts to influence the voter by intimidation or bribery."
How would you feel is a couple of Union Organizers come up to you and wanted to know how you voted? Let's face it. This Law is a clear attempt to intimidate workers to cast a vote in a certain way. This is America, NOT Communist China.
