Distinguishing Between Debates on Card Check, Unions

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009 by Admin

This morning, the editor of the Fredericksburg Freelance-Star in Virginia ran a great letter from Carrie Lukas, the director of the Independent Women’s Forumn. Responding to a community member’s article supporting EFCA based on the need for unions, Lukas responds:

No one is disputing the right of workers to create a union, but workers should also be free not to unionize.

And what Mr. Gimbell avoids revealing is that the so-called Employee Free Choice Act would deny workers the right to a legitimate, free, and fair election on this question.

It’s an important distinction, especially in light of yesterday’s Gallup polling that showed that about half of people support making it easier to unionize — in theory — while there is little evidence they support taking away the secret ballot during union organizing drives.
