What a pile of crap! *Yep, you'd better get rid of honest secret ballots,
unions have declined due to unions destroying the companies they invade
like
parasites. *Your unions have done nothing but hurt America for 50 years.
But, then you wouldn't have a job if you had to rely on skill and
sobriety.

I love how one local union is getting handed their walking papers. One
of the local companies (Beech Nut) was just bought out by a company out
of Sweden. After the last flood they had the parent company (Hero)
decided they had to build a new plant. The one they are currently in is
over 100 years old and sits in a flood prone area (it's been flooded at
least 6 times according to the paperwork)
The town it is in was told about it and they proceeded to take the
company to court and the union stepped in doing the same thing.
The town and the union lost. The company is now building the new plant
about 30 miles away and told the current employees that they should
apply for jobs in the new NON-UNION plant. The union has been screaming
that they cannot do that because "they have a contract". The thing is
that the contract was declared non-enforceable because this is a NEW
company, with a NEW plant in a NEW town. So now the union is trying to
get other unions to stir up crap as well. One of the big ones was a
bunch of stories about how the steel used was going to be erected using
non-union labor.
GREAT, and it will likely get built for LESS money, faster and without
all of the "cost overruns" that always seem to be part of any union run
job.

I can't understand how anyone with two firing synapses can defend unions.
Let's see who comes to Ron's call. *Probably the same non-metalworking

I for one agree unions (with a few exceptions) are bad news. It was
amazing how vocal the unions were during the auto bailout negotiations
in saying they felt they should have no givebacks. Why do you think
the American automakers are in such bad shape? Is it just a
coincidence that the non union automakers are doing much better than
their unionized counterparts?

Unions had their place back before the days of OSHA and other federal
laws governing employee pay, safety etc, but they dont anymore.

The EMployee Free Choice Act (AKA Employee No Choice Act) is just
another attempt to get more power for the unions, so they can more
easily organize more facilities, making more money for them so they
can take your money and fatten their wallets and contribute to
political parties and legislation you may or may not approve of. (Such
as gun control laws.)

And the person that said this law will not change anythign is
nonsense. The union can use home visits and other tatics to coherice
people to sign cards. Once you sign a card and if you change your
mind, good luck getting that card back you never will.

Secret ballet elections are a right workers have in deciding to have
or not to have a union. DOnt let the government (or anyone else) take
away this right!
