Hoyer Says "Card Check" Bill Just Around the Corner

[Terri3210]

If you vote ((((no)))) publicly you will be targeted for harassment, possible job loss and even threatened at home. The secret force is pressing inward for more power and control over citizens.

The Republicans just hate the Unions because union workers for Democrat. The GOP is a party of EXclusion and the Democrats are a party of INclusion. Until the GOP fix that, they will alway suck hind tit!

Congressman, how come unions are not allowed in the fed govt? If this is a basic right, then let the unions in the govt.

Hoyer knows the words coming out of his mouth is complete bullshit. But he's too much of a union-pussy-whipped politician to tell the truth about the bill. I love how Wallace compared the Congressional Caucus election hypocrisy.

I'm not against unions like the rest of these higher income republicans, but I do recognize that he ignored the question.

We should have secret ballots, and if there is a reason why we shouldn't, the man shouldn't have bs'd through the question like he did. He clearly is hiding something.

I was in a union for 16 years, And all they do is

protect the lazy person that won"t pull their weight.

They take your money and force the company you

work for to go bankrupt over time. Look at the UAW. those workers are making with benefits

over one hundred and forty dollars an hour. What company can pay that and survive ?Why

do you think all the unions back the Democrats

there all corrupt .We need to get rid of all unions. Then America will thrive again.

[Owens867]

your logic seems to imply that companies that don't have unionized workers are much less likely to fail. I'd like to see that statistic.

"What company can pay that and survive ?" Obviously companies can pay somewhere in that ball park to their employees instead of the un-unionized average of $10/hr. That fact that they actually DO do it shows they can.

Unions are dying because they are dinosauers which are no longer needed. In Louisville, Union jobs at Ford have now dropped to $10 per hour starting wage.  Why do we need a union to deliver wages that are equal to fast food?

[jorjeanne]

Typical Demo-crap run-around! Arrogant Elitist...LIAR!

[SueGeo]

Typical Democrat agenda-UnAmerican!!

[philo51]

I've never been a union worker or worked in that kind of environment since I was a teenager. Seems like Hoyer didn't answer the question about voting, or did I miss something?

There's more to this than the secret ballot issue, it is the timelines and binding arbitraion, giving labor and management only 90 days to reach an agreement.

Interestingly, the bill provides for a secret ballot to decertify a represntative (union).

I think the bill is a pile of dung.

[EdDuce42]

What a HUGE pile of horse sh*t! But then again, unions for the most part are horse sh*t!

[bowenit]

Having had a union forced down my throat I would not like the card check. I have been in an election where the union forced itself on us, via you vote, or your tires are slashed

[lorrainegate]

What a pile of horse sh*t!!!
