Points to Ponder – another slant on “Card Check”

Card Check (aka "Union full employment act") is where the politicians will decide to unions to cherry pick which employees at a prospective employer to go after to simply sign a card (under the watchful eyes of Lugs and Guido) stating they want a union at their shop.  No, not everyone even has to sign and since they can even go to your house, the employer may not even know that they’ve been targeted.

Effectively, it takes away the right of ALL of the employees to have a secret ballot vote to decide whether or not to join.  

Well Peter Kirsanow has this up at NRO:

Consider: If the 2008 presidential election had been governed by current NLRB election rules and John McCain were in the position of the union (and while acknowledging the imperfections inherent in a union election/presidential election analogy):

• McCain would’ve been able to time the election to coincide with when he was leading Obama in the polls
• McCain could’ve decided which group of voters would be entitled to vote
• McCain’s supporters could’ve visited voters at their homes. Not so Obama’s. (Obama’s supporters, however, would’ve had access to voters at their jobs)
• McCain could’ve promised voters more money in their pockets. Not Obama.
• McCain could’ve promised voters health care. Not Obama.
• McCain could’ve promised voters security. Not Obama.

McCain would’ve jumped on that deal. And that’s under current law. But McCain’s position would’ve been even more favorable under EFCA:

• McCain and his supporters could’ve asked voters to fill out cards/ballots in public authorizing McCain to be president
• McCain’s staffers could’ve filled out the cards/ballots on behalf of the voter
• McCain’s staffers would’ve retained custody of the cards/ballots until they were counted
• Obama wouldn’t have known that there was a race for president going on until the votes had been counted

There are numerous reasons for declining union membership. A defective elections process isn’t one of them.

Sort of a different light, eh?  Unions spent hundreds of millions of dollars in attempts to persuade you to vote for their candidate in a secret ballot – what’s good enough for you is not good enough for their prospective members?
