Big Labor War on Secret Ballot Intensifying
President Biden flatly rejects the long-standing consensus that secret-ballot elections are, with few if any exceptions, far superior to “card checks”
Rep. George Miller, Big Labor’s principle water carrier in the House, will introduce the Card Check Forced Unionism Bill in a matter of days. This is the first step toward moving the bill to the Senate, where it faces a true legislative battle.
While passage in the House is certain, some Democrats are expressing confidence the bill will also pass the Senate. “We’re going to have to fight, turn up the heat, turn up the pressure,” said Sen. Tom Harkin. “I am determined we will not lose this fight, by two votes or one vote.”
If Harkin is right, the right to workers’ secret ballot elections will be history.
