Everyday you hear from countless associations about their opposition to the Employee Free Choice Act, but this take, from an actual member of the Associated Builders & Contractors, Inc, really puts into perspective how bad this bill will actually be for America’s employers. Read his blog post on the detrimental impact passage of the Employee Free Choice Act will have on his concrete construction firm.

At a time when our nation’s viability in the world market must be strengthened and Congress should be focusing on legislation that will grow, not stunt, the economy, passage of the Democrat's so called Employee Free Choice Act, better know as card check, would be without the support of the American people and would have the following effects on our job market:

• At least 7.1 million Americans will eventually be forced into unions, further devastating labor markets and reducing corporate competiveness.
• As many as 765,000 potential jobs in the economy will be cut within two years.
• In addition, a recent survey shows that 88% of Americans want private ballots to remain, just that, PRIVATE.

As an original cosponsor and staunch supporter of worker freedoms, I am proud to support The Secret Ballot Protection Act. This legislation would guarantee workers the right to a secret ballot election conducted by the National Labor Relations Board and prohibit unions from coercively subjecting employees into a card check campaign,as proposed by the Democrat's misnamed Employee Free Choice Act.

By replacing the secret ballot system with card-checks and pressuring workers to sign cards in the open rather than voting secretly in booths, this so called Employee Free Choice Act, better known as card check, would strip workers of their fundamental rights and freedoms and leave them more vulnerable to pressure than ever before.
