Currently, companies decide whether or not to unionize by a 42 day private election. Those 42 days allow bosses to give the employees the opportunity to educate his workforce on what a union would mean.
As I was listening to a free podcast by the Heritage Foundation, I noted that the democrats want to take away the secret ballot, and dramatically shorten the voting period to 5 days. This favors unionization because it allows union bosses to bribe and/or intimidate people into unionizing, which may or may not be in their best interest. The shorter time period remarkably favors a misinformation campaign.
Employees currently have the option whether or not to unionize, but democrats want to change that. Guaranteeing a permanent job for safety for a few extra benefits cuts short that potential for greatness. This is the part that is so profoundly UnAmerican. We believe in the pursuit of Life, Liberty, and Happiness, while the democrats (and negotiable republicans) want to place a guarantee on that happiness in return for a few votes. Perhaps change means to some liberal democrats first and foremost recognizing that the human individual posses too much freedom.
A Union may allow employees to cross the finish line in the middle of the pack in the race of life, but is that what they want? It is surely not what the Founding Fathers wanted for them. This may sound familiar.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." - The Declaration of Independence.
If you have 30 seconds more, petition Card-Check, to protect the employees right to make an informed decision.
