Well get ready, the Democrats are going to strip away your choice of having or not having a union at the workplace? How? Simple, remove the secret ballot voting that is currently required to get a union into the workplace.
How will this help unions? Well what is wanted is for shops to become union simply if they collect a majority from union authorization cards. Well we all know people who will sign something just to make others go away, let alone sign something if they feel even the slight bit threatened; and some will be. The secret ballot to finalize a unions move into the workplace is what protects the little guy.
See, when its a secret ballot the goons out there can't scare you into siding with them. You can always claim you voted "right" while voting your true feelings. Well this doesn't sit well with unions because they lose too many of these votes.
So how to fix it? Simple, campaign donation pay back. Get the law changed. Simple as pie.
Now I worked under a union and have friends in UAW. I never ever want to be part of one either. All I saw was stagnation. Good work wasn't rewarded because the rules for promotion were set in stone. This usually meant seniority ruled. It didn't matter I had buffoons above me, they would always be there because the rules protected them.
Secret ballots are good enough for our elections and they are needed for a reason, to prevent intimidation of the voter. What right does Congress and unions have to deprive me and others of our right.
