This issue is, I am informed WAY MORE COMPLEX than is being described by the UNION BUSTING folks here are attempting to frame it.
I haven't read the bill but here's the WIKI take on this debate
Under current labor law, the U.S. National Labor Relations Board will certify a union as the exclusive representative of employees if it is elected by either a majority signature drive, the card check process, or by secret ballot NLRB election, which is held if more than 30% of employees in a bargaining unit sign statements asking for representation by a union. If enacted, this bill would require the NLRB to certify a bargaining representative without directing an election if a majority of the bargaining unit employees signed cards, the card check process.[1]
Here are the FOUR VERSIONS of the H.R.800 for the 110th Congress currently under consideration
Search Results - THOMAS (Library of Congress):
Per usual, understanding the subtlities of these proposed bills requires that we not only read those bills, but the bills that they often are merely making changes to.
I don't have the time to figure this one out, but frankly I seriously doubt that anyone on this board can easily explain it to me, because I doubt that it's as simple as these headlines you guys are posting leads us to think.
