A challenge to ”card check” from an unlikely source ...

Voting is an immense privilege.

That is why I am concerned about a new development that could deny this freedom to many Americans. As a longtime friend of labor unions, I must raise my voice against pending legislation I see as a disturbing and undemocratic overreach not in the interest of either management or labor.

The legislation is called the Employee Free Choice Act, and I am sad to say it runs counter to ideals that were once at the core of the labor movement. Instead of providing a voice for the unheard, EFCA risks silencing those who would speak.

The key provision of EFCA is a change in the mechanism by which unions are formed and recognized. Instead of a private election with a secret ballot overseen by an impartial federal board, union organizers would simply need to gather signatures from more than 50% of the employees in a workplace or bargaining unit, a system known as “card-check.” There are many documented cases where workers have been pressured, harassed, tricked and intimidated into signing cards that have led to mandatory payment of dues.

Rob, you are way too genteel on this issue.

The so-called Employee Free Choice Act is an outrageous assault on the American worker’s right of free choice, on the face of it!

Is it safe to assume that - next year, after making it’s way through a democrat controlled congress -President Obama would swiftly sign it into law?

Unions are known for and have a long history of violence and intimidation against innocent civilians.  They even kill their own who try and get elected.
United Mine Workers, early 1970s.  These people are downright disgusting.

NEO-UNIONIST EXPLOITATION OF BLUE-COLLAR REDNECKS AND SCHOOL TEACHERS (Ed.)

Marxist refugees from Nazi Germany and Marxist Russia, and their Neo-Marxist American born descendants, are the leading exploiters of America’s blue-collar rednecks and school teachers. They took advantage of the desire of the blue-collar rednecks and school teachers for more experienced representatives in bargaining with their governmental employers for better wages and benefits. Their Marxist revolutionary experience in tricking millions decent patriotic Russian Christians into slaughtering each other, in support of Bolshevik class warfare ideology, gave them an immediate advantage over local teacher and labor union leaders in American. But this success, historically, does not predict a final Neo-Marxist victory for the Neo-Unionists.

Hitler’s brilliant extermination of the Marxists, when they tried the same politically subversive tactics on the Germany People, suggests that the final outcome of the escalating American Cultural War against these exploitive Neo-Unionists promises to be interesting. Since the ultra-patriotic blue-collar redneck Christians instinctively put their ultimate trust in their God and their guns; and the vast majority of teachers, being patriotic and educated, are not susceptible to Neo-Marxist indoctrination; the Neo-Unionists have made a date with the patriotic political lynching mob.

From the very beginning, when they cunning usurped the power of the traditional labor and teacher unions, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and the National Educational Association (NEA) have systematically indoctrinated millions of blue-collar rednecks and thousands school teachers with their Neo-Marxist ideology, and exploited them for propaganda work, votes, and money; and then used the many billions of dollars of legally extorted union fees to buy the services of Congressional prostitutes, to enact legislation subversive to Christian culture, patriotism, traditional family values, capitalism, democracy, and Constitutional rule of law.

Jeugenen.  I had not heard the part about the prostitutes and the NEA, but I have with the AFL-CIO and Democratic congressmen with underaged boys.  He died a few years ago, but others have continued it, BF.

Unions had their purpose.
Today they mostly stand in the way of much needed advancements in Education, Transportation, and Government, to name a few.

The promise from our resident union thug:

EFCA will be back.  The first time through was just the practice run, with majority voting for it.  2009 will come soon enough.

Union assholes (I repeat myself) will never stop their attempts at taking away choice.

"Unions had their purpose.”

Yes they did.  And then it went down hill from there.  Some got infiltrated by the Mafia.  Others priced their members out of business.  Others couldn’t match what companies themselves offered workers.  With much of the traditional union-member labor jobs exported, unions are pretty much an anachronism.

With everything being made in China or outsourced anyway, why do we need unions? I believe in unions. However, I feel that the union officials should look at what is happening in the world and stop making ridiculous demands.

“Unions had their purpose.”

Their only purpose is what it still is: redistribution of money into their coffers.  Unions have never increased productivity, nor have they succeed in increasing the capital of their members, only of the ruling elite, just like any other socialist entity.  The increase in capital ownership among Americans is due solely to the free enterprise economic system, and unions have only slowed down that process.
Unions thrive on class envy, and as the population grows more wealthy, that tactic becomes less successful.
This is why they support the invaders, and will throw American workers under the bus if they can ever get amnesty for the invaders.  Unions require a two-tier society.
