Obama's Unionization plan - "free-choice"?

check this out


Washington Times - Obama supports union organizing

well it looks as though this is going to happen. Having worked in both union and non-union jobs, I personally am very much against unions. I don't see the point other than to take a little of your money in return for ....nothing (in my experience). Now, as a manager of a non-unionized manufacturing facility, this bill really scares me. All union organizers have to do is convince a simple majority of your workers to sign off on "union cards" which constitute a vote. There is no open forum, no private ballot and no way to change your mind (like there is now). Seems like it pretty much gives free reign to union organizers to come in and establish a union without a manager even knowing. Plus it forces the union on the other half of the employee group that didn't even necessarily vote for, on or even want or know about the possible unionization.

We can all look at Detroit or the airline industry for inspiring stories of the incredible workers' unions...

Basically I completely agree with this quote: it "take[s] away the protection of a private ballot, giving union organizers free rein to publicly pressure workers into signing cards stating support for a union."

One more thing...

YouTube - Changes


Anyway those are my thoughts. What do y'all think?
