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”
Phony Choice
John Stossel of ABC News sees right through Big Labor’s claim that the Card Check Scam Bill is about giving workers a choice:
Choice is good. As a libertarian, I’m all over choice. But strangely, today, liberals are mostly about what Americans should not be allowed to choose.
AFL-CIO boss John Sweeney says, “[O]ur top priority is passage of the Employee Free Choice Act, legislation that will restore workers’ freedom to bargain for a better life”.
That sounds nice. But it really means that workers will no longer have the privacy and safety of a secret ballot when voting on a union. If a union can round up signatures from more than half the employees at a plant, other workers will be forced to unionize, too.
Unorganized labor — better known as most of us, or free people making our own way — won’t be helped by this coercive limiting of choice.
