what about them?

if you don't feel the company is recognizing your efforts as a worker look for a company that you think will.

and sure... strike and risk having the company shut down completely leaving you and everyone else with no job.

i'm all for choice... choose where you wanna work, choose who you want to hire, choose how you wanna run your business, etc... as long as all of those don't infringe on the rights of others.

So, I still have not heard ONE good reason why employees shouldn't have a choice between a secret ballot and on open ballot. The only option we have now is a secret ballot. So, why is it a bad thing to have more options? Police, firemen, teachers, EMTs, state and county workers, are mostly all unionized and work for the government to serve YOU! Isn't that socialism?I guess the next time your house is on fire or you need a cop, or drive on roads, remember that you are supporting socialist unions

I see the paid bloggers have been earning their paychecks. Trying to feed the notion that unions = bad.

When in fact there has never been a time where we needed protections set up for all workers - the reasoning should be quite obvious.

Did unions get us in to this trouble?

Even the mainstream news can't hide it - it was the greed of executives.

If corporations were run fairly, there would be no need for unions.

However the opposite has been proved.

We're sick of the corporate slander.

Democrats are deeply passionate about compulsory unionization and this idea of unionizing without a secret ballot. Forcing workers to join corrupt unions is something which they stand and fight for. The ideal of thugocracy is the soul of the democratic party. "Health Care Reform"... is simply a coercive unionization scheme so that unionization of medical workers can be 65% unionized (like Canada) instead of 10% unionized (like in the US). These actors are silly pawns of the thugocracy.

This proves how little you know about acting, business, the economy, human rights, and this country. Read a book sometime.

to mismoyi: Just because I'm against EFCA does NOT mean that I'm against the working class. I am a part of the working class and I feel that an outside union shouldn't have the power to dictate to a company how it should run its business. My employer does a great job of accommodating its team members, and if there's anyone that disagrees with them, they should just quit. after all it's their CHOICE to work there. And just like they have the choice to want a union, I have the choice to say NO

Great post! I always get suspicious when my only choice has already been decided for me.

[bigMarc77]

Or maybe it's just that they're against the sense of entitlement that can only be conveyed by a paid spokesperson in order to make an emotional appeal to those that don't care to look at things objectively...

The only one I recognize is Ben Stiller's dad. Bunch of B-list actors whoring themselves out because their union bosses made them. Further proof we need a secret ballot.

[minimumgrade]

You don't know what the hell you're talking about. Read the legislation. The whole PURPOSE of it is to remove the secret ballot as an employer's option before certification, and it would only be available if the Union decided to allow it.

Which, of course, would never happen once they've already intimidated >50% of the employees into having "dues" from their paychecks seized for bullshit causes.

more unions... brilliant idea when american business is getting slaughtered out there and the economy is in a free fall. These people are stupid, which is why they are actors and don't have a real job. An economist worth anything would laugh at increasing unions during a severe recession so they bring in the braindead actors. go back to rodeo drive and your plastic surgeons and shut up and leave us alone. Be happy with your million dollar salaries for not doing real work and leave us alone.
