Misinformed Montana Legislator Forgets Lost Secret Ballots

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009 by Admin

Dave Wanzenreid, a state senator from Missoula, has taken to the Great Falls Tribune to argue for the misnamed Employee Free Choice Act. Tsk Tsk, Mr. Wanzenreid.

The good state senator relies primarily on redistribution arguments — it’s better for employees if everyone is unionized and they make more money, etc. Of course, he ignores the labor cartel nature of unions and that increasing unionization through EFCA will drive a reduction in employment for everyone else.

But he also ignores the elephant in the room: EFCA will strip the right to a secret ballot for more than 300,000 Montanans, according to the Heritage Foundation, and will impose government arbitrators on countless small businesses.

So, it hurts all business, reduces most jobs, and strips the right to a secret ballot for hundreds of thousands of his constituents? Mr. Wanzenreid is good with that?
