Re: Employee Free Choice Act

I am surprised that no one has had any interest in discussing this
topic here. If the Employee Free Choice Act passes it should make
things a lot easier for anyone that wants to organize a union at IBM.
I also posted some information about it on another board and there has
been a lot of discussion about it - a total of 160 messages so far in
the last 2 weeks. If you are interested in this discussion here are
the 4 discussion threads about this topic:

If this is the bill where they outlaw the "secret ballot", and vote by a show of hands whether or not to have a union, realize it is a two-edge sword. Those...

They sign cards, not a show of hands. You need to go to the AFL/CIO web site and study up on this before you make such comments. You also clearly do not...

You left out the part where it says that signing cards would no longer be kept secret. IOW, someone who declines would be 'exposed'. (yuk yuk yuk)....

I'm amazed that the Employee Free Choice Act is not on President Obama's desk yet. Do we have to see the unemployment rate hit 12% or higher for it to even be...
