“pro-union”...
how euphemistic.
“Enabling thuggery and intimidation” is closer to the truth.

The EFCA would allow unionization without a secret- ballot vote if more than half of the workers sign the cards. Intimidation issue
Republicans argue that eliminating the need for a secret ballot and going to a so-called card-check system could lead to intimidation of workers by union organizers who will know where an employee stands on unionization.
the change could sharply increase the number of unionized companies.
A secret ballot should remain just that. The unions are divided of what the membership believes, vs what the internationals preach. If the internationals paid attention to the needs of Americans, memberships would soar.
Sadly the international is in bed with the likes of grungy harry, nasty pelousy, and others. They should have a clue, they are about as popular as the congress is, and by doing so, losing members.

I got railed at by a friend when I refused to sign a petition in support of this bill. If a friend is willing to use shame tactics to get me to “change my vote,” just what would a union organizer be willing to do?

Barack just wants to end disagreement.
He will change our system to socialism and manage it with the heavy hand of a Nazi.
There will be no dissent permitted.
By the end of his first year in office we would be governed by quasi-military cadres of black thugs like the Nation of Islam crazies surrounding his pal, Louis Farrakhan, and those chanting groups of mumbling Obama-bots we now see in videos springing up all over the net.
Get ready for Reparations and other minority handouts that will dwarf the $700 billion dollar Wall Street bail out

Keeping the secret ballot is a must. In Colorado, ski resort workers and ski teachers are trying to organize. It is truly unfortunate that labor force feels that it needs to organize but they are being driven to this by the cutthroat practices of the big resort companies who virtually hold a monopoly on hiring. Removing the right of a secret ballot would hurt U. S. citizens. It must not be allowed to become law.
Most U.S. citizens in the resort companies feel that they must organize to protect their jobs and see that their benefits and pay is raised to a proper level of compensation. Right now benefits and pay are being held down. Each year the resort companies bring in thousands of foreign workers. The resorts companies will tell you that they do this to provide “cultural diversity”. The truth is, each year resorts imports thousands of foreign workers to drive labor costs down and to keep labor costs down.

The ski towns were taken over by the hippies and druggies in the 70’s and 80’s.
Now they build ‘affordable housing’ aka government housing projects for government staff.
This guarantees permanent election of liberals as the taxpayers ( sales and property taxes ) are the tourists who can not vote.
The biggest real estate developer is now the government as they waive their own impact fees and zoning rules.

Ah ha. That is fascinating. I was in Yellowstone and in the Tetons recently and the resort hires were from all over the world, e.g., Slovenia, the Ukraine, Bulgaria, etc. I had assumed it was a student exchange program.

Slash your tires without hesitation.
Drench your yard and shrubs in roundup
Poison your dog
Rant at your mother.
