Labors Woes

Most folks aren't paying any attention to the liberal Dems efforts to placate their union backers, who take money from coerced workers and give it to them. In sum, the unions want to do away with secret ballots when workers decide whether or not to form a union. This has been the case for many decades, but now it seems workers are not voting right, so the opportunity to do a little arm twisting as only unions can twist arms seems to be just the medicine for this situation. Years ago when the Wagner Act was passed, it was widely argued that neither companies nor unions should be able to influence unionization elections, so they should be done in secret. It has been working all this time. Now we need to back-track, but in only one direction. When the Republicans offered an amendment in the Senate which would allow companies to use the check-off procedure to decertify a union (rather than a secret ballot), the dems quickly rejected this offer. Surprise, surprise.
