They rally against card check not to protect employees but to defend their own greedy self interest. There’s a reason why the decline of the labor movement has coincided with the decline of the middle class. The two go hand in hand. Unions result in higher wages and better benefits. Most employers don’t want you to see it that way because they don’t want to pay you higher wages or give you better benefits. Simple.

    Again, this is simply NOT true. It is not a “lie” to say that the NLRB would not be allowed to direct a secret ballot election. Either you are terribly mistaken — anyone would be if they were only listening to organized labor’s talking points instead of having read Section 2 of the actual bill — or you are knowingly spreading false information.

    But then again, “Hillary” left comments with the exact same language over at US News and World Report yesterday — we think there’s a fake grassroots EFCA campaign going on.
