It’s fascinating to examine the mindset of union partisans fighting to enact the misnamed Employee Free Choice Act (a.k.a Card Check Forced Unionism Act), which would virtually eliminate the secret ballot in workplace elections.

Jon Tasini, a union consultant and former union boss, supports Card Check Forced Unionism which would allow union goons to collect "votes" in public by repeatedly harassing workers at the job and at home.

But Tasini thinks the Card Check Forced Unionism does not go far enough. He’d rather just have absolute government-imposed forced unionism, like China, where the authoritarian regime simply tells companies "you have to have unions" — and that’s, that.

Read Tasini’s entire post here.

Note that he doesn’t even attempt to couch his support of the bill under the premise that card card is a better barometer of majority support than an election (which, of course, is absurd). In fact, there’s no mention of majority support at all — or even whether or not ANY of the workers at a company want to unionize.
