What a nice sounding name "Employees Free Choice Act". Who couldn't be in favor of such a nice sound bite; it's like "hope" and "change", really lofty ideals. "Free Choice" essentially means a card check system where secret ballots are preempted and workers have to vote yes or no on the question of unionizing in front of pro-union representative. Of course, the truth is that CARD CHECK would be anything but "free choice". It would be a vehicle for pro-union thugs to intimidate workers who do not want unions but would be afraid of reprisals if they didn't agree to unionization. The secret ballot is the nemesis of union organizers, since they want anything but free choice; the latter has resulted in the decline of union membership as workers wise up to the fact that union leaders are like politicians, out for themselves first and then way down in priority they might throw a few crumbs to the rank and file members.
The Obamaites as usual just drool over every left wing agenda item and so they love Card Check.
Anyone who has worked in a unionized company, BUT not been part of the union perhaps being a non-management salaried employee up to an executive), has experienced how the unions take the work to the lowest common denominator of ability or skill, how they ostracize and often undermine any union member who shows extra initiative, how they squeeze as many work rules out of the company as possible to increase union headcount and overtime by increasing inefficiency, and how they never see the success of the organization as tied to their personal success.
