Fine, then make it all secret... any problem with that? Face it, the unionistas want to be able to exert pressure on people, and that is wrong.......
That's not what the "unionistas" as you call us want to be able to do. We just want an efficient and fair system. The problem with any official secret ballot is that it will be known to management. The authorization cards or petition allowed by the EFCA would allow employees to keep an organizing effort relatively quiet so that management can't interfere. Theoretically, a small employee group could get together one day and fill out a petition with a majority of the members and present it to the NLRB as-is, with no further action required. That keeps management from using scare-tactics to fight labor. Employees should be free to make the decision to organize without any interference from management.
The cards get sent in because of pressure and you know it..... Peer pressure is a strong force....
I don't "know it." No campaign that I've been involved with contained any sort of pressure from the OC members or from the union. Any such activity is blatantly illegal, and would remain illegal under the EFCA.
