<\/p>\n

\nLast week, AFL-CIO union czar Richard Trumka (download<\/a> the Foundation’s Fact Sheet on his history of condoning union violence and corruption) made headlines<\/a> by predicting that the Card Check Forced Unionism Bill will pass in early 2010.\u00a0 The heated debate over the health care overhaul legislation has kept the public eye off this other union boss power grab for a few months, but Trumka’s prediction makes it clear Big Labor’s high command haven’t forgotten about their highest priority.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe Card Check Forced Unionism Bill would effectively eliminate workers’ right to a secret ballot in workplace unionization drives and replace it with overt union intimidation:\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n\tUnder the Card Check Forced Unionism Bill, the provisions of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) that refer to the secret ballot election would be rendered a dead letter<\/b>, even though they are not technically <\/i>stricken from federal law.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\tBig Labor spin artists can claim all they want that the workers can still "choose" to have a secret ballot election, but there simply is no way by which workers can force union bosses to file for a secret ballot<\/b> election <\/b>— and it is union bosses, not workers, who are in possession of the cards.\u00a0 Reporters who repeat this union boss talking point owe their readers a correction.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nRead the full analysis here<\/a>.\u00a0 Union bosses prefer card check instant organizing because it puts all of the power in their hands — free from the meddling interference of government election supervisors and the workers themselves. \u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\nFortunately, we already know what card check campaigns look like.\u00a0 Unfortunately, we only know this because hardworking Americans have been subjected to harassment, intimidation, and coercion by union bosses to get them to sign cards.\u00a0 In the video below, Dana Corporation employees in Albion, Indiana, shared their stories<\/a> with the National Right to Work Committee.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe National Right to Work Committee warns to beware<\/a> of any bogus compromises under the guise of protecting the secret ballot.\u00a0 One of the most dangerous aspect of the "compromise" talks is the lack of focus on the other toxic provision of the Card Check Forced Unionism Bill: mandatory binding arbitration.\n<\/p>\n

\nUnder the bill, workers won’t just lose the right to a secret ballot when deciding whether or not to form a union.\u00a0 Even those who choose to join a union’s ranks may see their voting rights severely limited, as mandatory binding arbitration would allow government bureaucrats to impose contracts on workers.\u00a0 That means union members may not even be able to vote to ratify their contracts: Whatever the government says… goes.\n<\/p>\n

\nEven Far Left icon George McGovern<\/a> knows this is a terrible idea. \u00a0 And as Reason Foundation analyst Shikha Dalmia detailed in the Wall Street Journal, states’ experiments with mandatory binding arbitration and public sector unions have led to atrocious results<\/a> — including out of control budgets and fiscal mismanagement.\n<\/p>\n
