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.
