AND SO IT BEGINS.... As expected, the Employee Free Choice Act, a measure intended to make it easier for American workers to form unions, was introduced on the Hill today. The measure is often known as "card check," because it would give workers the right to form a union when a majority of employees sign cards saying they want one.
Huh? Seems like signing a card serves as invitation for later retaliation. I'd be worried about that if I signed a card at my job asking for a union... wait! That's right, I don't have a job - so employer reaction ain't going to be a problem. Senator Nelson (R_Lite-NE) tries to couch his opposition to the bill by invoking the word "worker"
Workers are “more concerned with keeping their jobs than organizing a union today,” the Democratic senator said...which is as good a way as any to avoid real explanation explaining how being for the worker means to be against the worker. Heck, let's just go watch a football game, okay?
