  • Former Obama supporter, former Democrat 25 years of age. I will never again cast my vote for a man & a party that has been hijacked by a bunch of socialists whom don't like America because we're not Europe!

    GO REPUBLICANS THROW OUT THE INTOLERANT BIGGOT DEMOCRATS

  • I was an AFSME steward.

  • Well, well, well... It looks like Spector has decided to vote for the Employee free choice act afterall. I knew he would see it our way.

  • My personal experiences say you are wrong JOhnLloydScharf. But that is your opinion. However as a worker I would much rather have the opportunity to vote BEFORE the employer gets involved. Just using dirty word tricks and calling it things like "the forced choice act" isn't going to change that simple fact.

  • They are welcome to try. Intimidation is a violation of Federal law and costs thousands of dollars for each violation. You are not going to sell me on this and no one else should be. I am a former union steward and have already seen the results of this in Oregon. Most employers will not come to your HOUSE to intimidate you.

  • Oh then I guess by your standards it is also not democratic once the management gets involved since they try to intimidate their workers into voting no.

  • Anyone with half a brain knows that it is not a secret ballot when you are being threatened if you do not sign the card. This is not democratic or progressive. It is like any other protection racket.

  • Writing your name on the card IS Casting your ballot. Anyone with half a brain cell realizes that.

  • When the Teamsters first started in California, they cut the tires off the truck my father was driving. There was no "Free Choice" in that and there will not be with Card Check.

  • The effect of the bill is to make any attempt at a vote a moot point, from anyone's perspective. Once the cards are signed, there is no ballot.
