An “Absolute Lie” On the Employee Free Choice Act
Sure, it’s the job of loud-mouth talk show hosts to get their audience riled up. But sometimes the truth gets totally lost. And that’s where we pick up with Ed Schultz on MSNBC:
The Employee Free Choice act is about, just that, choice. What could be more American than having a choice in the workplace as to whether you`re going to organize or not?
Now, the point being here is that if you get your friends together in the workplace and you decide you want to do collective bargaining, you can do it. Yes, you can do it today. But this would change.
Now, one of the claims that`s being made out there by the antis of the Employee Free Choice Act is that this would take away the right of a secret ballot.
Folks, I`m telling you tonight, that is an absolutely lie.
Taken, in order, is the Truth About EFCA(.com!):
- It’s not about choice if one is trying to quell two-sided debate and kill the period of contemplation
- Yes, current law does allow workers to bargain collectively, so why go to the extreme of curtailing employee rights?
- And, again, EFCA does effectively eliminate secret ballots … that’s not a lie, it’s a practical fact
It’s unfortunate that those carrying water for organized labor continue to lean on mis-truths while managing to call everyone else a liar.
