One of my unions main goals is to educate workers to make them more valuable. In florida , the union companies are all specialty electrical companies. Your average electrician can't walk in and do what they do. All thanks to the union's free seminars and curriculum. How does that not make the employer more profitable?
BTW i have seen first hand people getting laid off or fired simply for asking about unions, I was laid off for asking another worker about the union. How is that fair?

the secret vote thing doesn't take away your right to,"vote in secret." when you belong to a union, and are forced to a vote, there is nothing, and i repeat, NOTHING secret about it. if i recall, my most recent vote was done using my ssn. i think the idea behind this is that people are supposed to feel free to unionize. choose to belong or not. the fundamental right to organize is necessary. either you pay 'em or work for 'em. that's what it's all about.

In Las Vegas the union presence forces the non union employers to pay more and offer better benefits so they can recuit competent employees while trying to prevent organizing. It is the union that drives what an employee is worth to the employer. Anyone against the Free Choice Act should live the life of a person instrumental in trying to organize an employer and see how much that company really cares about it's employees and how much evil they are capable of. Been there, done that.

What happened to recending NAFTA and GATT? What a joke. Obama said whatever he need to in order to get union endorsements..

I wonder how the employees of Dodge and GM feel about the union? Their jobs don't seem to be going so well. My job is non union and I love it. We have great benefits and are paid fairly and even in these hard times are getting bonuses. People think they deserve to make top dollar for mindless jobs that take no skill, therefore the employer is stressed finantially. The union makes promises to get the employee more money, but what good is that if the company can't handle it and goes bankrupt?

the secret ballot remains, employer intimidation is what we are trying to stop! with the Taft-Hartely act, the employer decides the nature of the election, not the workers. with EFCA, it will go back to the workers. It's called democracy, live with it!

What is wrong with the owners of the company deciding how things should be done again?

Didn't Henry Ford first come up with the 40-hour-week and minimum wage?

One of the major lessons of recent world history is that free and vital trade unions are a strong bulwark against the growth of totalitarian movements. We must, therefore, be everlastingly alert that in striking at union abuses we do not destroy the contribution which unions make to our democratic strength.

-Harry S. Truman
