"vote in public to determine whether we will vote in public or in private"

1. You don't vote in public. You just mark the card for a private vote IF you want one. The company or the union don't even need to see your choice. It can be sent direct to the NLRB.

As for a union thug (Rush says Tony Soprano) can't bother you at work. That is left solely up to the employer. When I tried to organize my shop when I was fired in 1980, I didn't visit a single home, drinks after work, etc.. But when the employer stooge told them I had the votes to win, I was fired in less than 48 hours. Last year an administrative law judge decided 120 workers at CNN were fired 5 years ago only because they belonged to a union. So now an appeal to the NLRB. Then US Appeals Court. Will CNN go to the US Supreme Court? 15 more years waiting for the employees under the current time line. And any pay they have made since they were fired will come off the back pay award they should finally win from CNN.

For you to say EFCA is no good, don't pass it is absurd. You need to rethink your best chance to win representation since the 1930's. Or do you really not want the union advantage at work?

2. I agree. I don't want the counter proposal either. I just posted the story. If you really believe this bills passage won't mean 1000's of new organizers, your out of touch with the real world.
