The union busting industry is a $4,000,000,000 a year industry. It's a cash cow and they find out how some employees feel about a union drive and fire them. Don't trust me?? Then search for yourself-confessions of a union buster a book by Martin Jay Levitt, or search on this channel for- secret ballot in name only.

Not surprised. But still, it makes me feel 4% less paranoid.

This law would not abolish the secret ballot. You are all a bunch of brainwashed scabs. See how much the bosses care about you when there is no union representation. "the companies don't intimidate"? You ignorant jackass. Google Pinkerton Agency, or "coal and iron police" or Ludlow Massacre, or Lattimer Massacre. If it weren't for labor unions the norm would still be piece rates for fifteen hours a day and eleven year olds working in factories. You believe whatever bullshit you want, suckers.

Unions have destroyed this country. Lazy, uneducated, and people with the "You Owe Me" attitude would join a union in this day and age. Unions protect those who are substandard workers, facilitate fraud via worker's comp programs, and are just shady people. They get payed for sitting around, and doing nothing. In my organization...I will do anything to keep it free of union tyrany!

EFCA doesn't make it easier to form unions. It makes it easier for Unions to unionize employees. Let's be honest about this stuff.

This is truly incredible. One of the most well established principles of democracy is that you get to have a SECRET ballot. If half the electorate signed letters saying they wanted Obama to be president again, would you cancel the presidential election?

hypocrisy and deceit are a religion with some leftists.Why call compulsory union membership "free choice"?Thats like calling North Korea a democracy.Rachel Maddow is just shitting all over her gutless wonder self by not telling us the whole story like the difference between right to work states and this Orwellian "Free choice"crap.

[404maestro]

Are you serious? You clearly have no experience in any business. The companies don't intimidate; THE UNIONS DO! Laws forbid employers from intimidation and harrassment of workers, but the union thugs will follow workers home. You want to get rid of a federally supervised, secret ballot election????? Did YOU read the bill? That quote about keeping a secret ballot election is NOT in the bill. CLUELESS.
