thats bullshitWhy would union leaders want to remove one of the great bastions of a free society - the secret ballot? What is the motivation?
look it up...the people want to be able to have a union quicker...
the old process was getting more than 30% of all workers to sign the card to want a union, they would get a vote...the business would take a few months to schedule the vote and strong arm the workers , and illegally fired some of the workers promoting unionizing to intimidate the others in to not going for it, and took work time to have paid advocates tell all the employees why it was so terrible while those advocates showing the positives of unions were not allowed the same....and could only work one on one after work etc...then, more than 50% of the workers voting with a ballot, had to take place for the union to be formed...you were not required to vote, you could not vote, if you didn't care one way or the other....
it was all favored in the employer's advantage with his intimidation, not equal footing.
the new way is if you get more than 50% of all workers signing the card saying they want union representation, they get a union formed and the representatives meet with the owner.
the owner still gets to have his advocates against unions during work time etc during the period the workers are trying to recruit the 50%.
something like....if 30% of the workers sign the card, and want a ballot vote then the ballot vote can be called is my reading of it....?
just like people are intimidated into signing that card and when the vote comes they vote NO should be enough to tell you what a load of bullshit it is
