Wash Post on 'Card Check'
The Washington Post is carrying an op-ed today on the undemocratic 'card check' legislation, which passed the House last year over the strong objection of Republicans and despite overwhelming public opposition. From today's piece...
...a card-check system would offer even more room for intimidation of workers. A union card can be signed by workers at any time during an organizing campaign, which can take many months. Union organizers can pursue workers in their homes, at churches and civic clubs, and at watering holes after hours. Workers' family members can also be intimidated during this process. So much for a "free choice" for employees.
