Although the card check phrase would be dropped, the legislation would be still very weighted against business, Greg Mourad, director of legislation for NRTW, has observed.

The current average is 42 days when petitions are turned in to when elections take place and we think this is a reasonable time frame.”
Brett McMahon, vice-president of Miller and Long, a Maryland-based concrete construction company, concurs. The maneuvering on card check and proposed substitution of new, seemingly benign language is a typical labor tactic, he warned.
“They usually give ground on one of their most unreasonable demands after all the objections have been made,” he said. “Then they come back with something even worse and claim the moral high ground for having ‘compromised’ on their first demand.”
