Hawaii state lawmakers are moving a measure forward (SB1621 SD1 HD1) that would deny workers a secret ballot when voting whether or not to unionize a place of business.
Known as card check, any business could be unionized if more than fifty percent of workers agree to sign a card indicating their support. A worker’s choice would be visible for anyone to see.
(The mafia will come and shake down employers by threatening to card-check them....)

Isn’t there still a Republican governor in Hawaii?
Does she have veto power?
Hawaii is in an interesting position, literally (i.e., geographically). By not having border states to drive business to, they have at core some level of minimum economic activity that will not leave no matter how much tinkering is done with taxes and labor rules. And perhaps due to the incredibly expensive land prices there (fuel prices, etc.), I’m not sure there were a lot of businesses itching to open a call center there, for example. This is ill advised, but probably not by itself not of great impact to that state.
