If your referring to EFCA, I am opposed to it. Eliminating the secret ballot could result in violating our personal rights. But I do think employees should be allowed to collectively bargain. The concept of a “union” does not seem anti-American to me.

Collective barginning, as a concept, presumes that all union workers represented are, as a class, of the same abilities and worth to the company. It precludes and is opposed to individualized compensation based upon performance or assessed employee value. Underlying these negotiations is the union job action, a threat routinely used as leverage to strengthen the workers' position.

A union strike is, in reality, an act of economic violence against a company and as such should only be used when true health and safety issues are the issue. To strike for increased wages, benefits, vacation time, senority issues or the reduction of productivity standards is, frankly, extortion.
