Underhanded Tactics

Workers who have been subjected to a Big Labor Card Check campaign have experienced misleading and sham tactics to gain signatures. As David Freddoso notes:

In 2007, organizers for the Service Employees International Union in both Oregon and Minnesota were accused of telling workers that by signing cards they were merely requesting information.

But worse than that:

There are also stories of clear threats and intimidation by union organizers. Workers have been told that if they didn’t sign, they’d be fired when the union took over. They have been told their tires would be slashed. Ricardo Torres, an organizer for the United Steelworkers, quit his job after he was instructed to tell migrant workers that “they would be reported to federal immigration officials if they refused.”

No union, but especially not one with multiple top officials convicted in federal court of accepting bribes and embezzling workers’ dues money, should be allowed to impose unionization on workers by colluding with company officials to bypass a secret ballot vote. That’s why it is critical that any state incentive package includes a condition that the decision over whether to unionize the proposed Ford-SK Innovation Western Tennessee plant be made with workers having the full protection of a federally supervised secret ballot vote, and absent any backroom deal between company and UAW officials.
