E. Thomas McClanahan, of the Kansas City Star, sees through Big Labor’s claims on the Card Check Forced Dues Bill:
Union organizers know that signatures on cards don’t necessarily represent the real sentiments of workers. Many employees sign cards and then — in the privacy of the voting booth — vote against forming a union.
That’s why organizers usually make sure to collect cards from a supermajority of workers before calling for an election. And that’s why the secret ballot must be maintained, so that the organizing process reflects the real preferences of workers.
UFW union-backed law sweeps workers into union via coercive ‘card check’ scheme and imposes forced dues in violation of First Amendment
UFW union officials gained power through “card check” and denied Porpiglia Farms workers secret ballot vote, now stonewalling employee request for union removal
UFCW union officials bypassed secret ballot election to gain power over Green Thumb Industries employees, but workers now back decertification vote.
