Employee Free Choice Act sounds really good, doesn't it? Well, it's all about the spin--even when you name a bill. According to HotAir.com, President Obama told top union officials at their winter meeting in Miami that he would pass the Employee Free Choice Act.
The Employee Free Choice Act (contrary to its name) takes the secret ballot away in union elections. If a company is about to be unionized, the employees are handed a card and asked to vote openly in the presence of a union official--there is no secret ballot. It opens the door for all sorts of abuses of the voting process.
The Weekly Standard Blog posted an article in October of last year, when this bill was being discussed, which included a video of George McGovern (also posted on You Tube) explaining why the Employee Free Choice Act (also known as 'card check') is a bad idea. This is legislation that will truly kill the economy. It will be the end of the non-union shop and of the automobile industry outside of Detroit.
