The cleverly-entitled Employee Free Choice Act would kill secret ballot voting rights in union organizing elections and make employees' votes public through what's known as a "card check." In card check campaigns, union bosses gather authorization cards purportedly signed by workers expressing their desire for a union to represent them -- a process that notoriously leaves workers open to coercion, pressure, and outright intimidation. Led by Rep. Howard P. "Buck" McKeon (R-CA), House Republicans vigorously fought this undemocratic bill to protect the private voting rights of working Americans.
