Workers Tell Fox News: Card Check Intimidation is Very Real, Very Dangerous 

Yesterday, Fox News followed up on its earlier story about a real-life case demonstrating how dangerous Card Check Instant Organizing drives are – and a clear example of the kind of intimidation and harassment that will occur at substantially more American workplaces if the Card Check Forced Unionism Bill passes.

In the new video report, seen below, Dana Corp. employees in Albion, Indiana, tell Fox News how United Auto Workers union organizers created an ugly and coercive environment. Many workers signed cards just to stop the constant pressure of union organizers harassing them at work, in the parking lot, and even at home.

Fortunately, an important precedent established by staff attorneys at the National Right to Work Foundation allowed these very employees to obtain, and ultimately win, a decertification secret ballot election.

But millions of American workers won't be so lucky if the Card Check Forced Unionism Bill becomes law since passage of the bill would wipe out the ability of employees to challenge a card check and force a secret ballot.

union thugs and weak workers

I am tired of hearing about union hitmen bugging workers and even going to their homes. I am also tired of people telling me they gave in to the unions because they got tired of the constant pressure. You have a choice when these thugs talk to you,either have a conversation or tell them to leave you the heck alone. If they continue then file a report with your police department.... and tell them you support the 2nd amendment.

This patriot predicted this very thing! Read it for yourself The bum selling our right to privacy for campaign contributions from unions is Rep. Miller from California

De-Union Right

Any process to join a union should have a similarly easy process to remove a union. Otherwise, there is no Equal Protection as guarenteed by the Constitution. Like any contract, coersion to join should not be legally binding. There is no difference between forced unionization and theft because it forces people ot pay union dues or "protection money". The Union forcing such action should be charged under RICO. Its time the US Attorney's Office investigated and charged the unions for corruption.

Unions may have protected

Unions may have protected employees from abuse many years ago - but there are now laws that provide the same protection. Plus - we can change jobs whenever we want.

Unfortunately, there are no laws protecting workers from abusive unions.

This is sooooo true: (rom another post)

I have known union workers to brag about destroying private property - setting buildings on fire, etc. Amazingly, these same people consider themselves Christians (I guess they weren't wearing their WWJD hats those days. Talk about serving 2 masters!) They've also intimidated smaller private companies in the area that they consider 'illegal' competition. And they are pathetically corrupt - even ripping off their own members.

Unions philosophy contridicts our Constitution - the right to private property, personal safety, the persuit of happiness as we decide for ourselves...

If we can elect a president & vote him out of office - it should be a lot easier to vote to disband a union if workers are not satisfied. Otherwise - the cure (unions) is much worse than the so-called 'disease' (corporations).

AomspYWKEyAaq

I’m not wrohty to be in the same forum. ROTFL

card chk is is a union method to force people.

This is a warning, (anonymous so you wont be able to attack me over these comments)).

Warnign to union members and organizers.

U will not be able to intemidate me to vote pro-union.

I cannot say in print (per tracing capabilities) what I will do in response... but it would be wise for you to make sure your life is in order.

My right to secret ballot is more important than all else.. and nothing will interfere with that.

And if it happens I will go contract only and bypass the union anyway.

more stuff

Many people who are normally pro-union will be among the most vocal of anti-union if the idea of joining a union is mandatory.

Forced unionism is definatley antiamerican and anyboyd who supports it is no different than nazi's.

sad lot

sad lot

pressure and intimidation

I understand some people say that union organizers pressure others people into joining a union or forming one. These organizers show up at people's houses? What is the matter with the citizens. Are they helpless or something? If some fascist organizers set up on my property they will have a choice - leave NOW or be riddled with bullet holes. I could make them leave me alone real quick and in a very understandable manner. Why don;t people stand up for themselves instead of letting these pathetic pests walk all over them?

Fight Back people. I don't see what your doing to fight back

Make sure you vote for someone in your district who will fight back for you, check them out big time, its time to get all the progressives out of office, Obama, everyone he has put on his staff are progressives, fagits, for killing babies, taka a gander at Kevin Jennings and see what he is doing to our children in the schools, Hillary is another one and there are many. do a search for Obama's appointees and nominees, read about Holder, Jennings and many more and see what kind of creeps he has hired and paying them big money too. We need to get rid of all the progressives. Obama is only out for power and money and doesn't care about you or me or our children.

Watch Glen Beck on FOX news, he'll tell you what is going on and what to do about it. Check out YOUTUBE, type in some of the names I mentioned. You will get a big surprise. We have been lied to from the very git go, the bible tells you all about it because God knew what would happen and He told all the prophets about it many, many years ago. Live for Jesus he is the only one that can help this nation. Pray and ask the Lord to cleanse this nation and weed out the bad ones. It is happening now, they are quitting but not the right ones yet. Vote them all out of office, your voice counts, your vote counts, make it count. God bless you all for standing up for your rights, but make that vote count, Please for Gods sake and yours.
