Would one of you please put this question into a form that even Harry
can understand so we can get an answer? Apparently the Elite left has
lost so much touch with the middle class in America, they don't even
speak English anymore.. Thank you, I am sure others are interested in
this issue.
Here is the question in English:
Just watching CNN. Robert Reich is saying the secret ballot makes it
possible for companies to intimidate workers?? Can you explain how
not knowing how someone votes can create intimidation, and going to
their homes, with their wives and children home with a ballot and
asking them to check off a box in front of union thugs doesn't ??
Thanks, Just Wait...
The problem is, you simply do not understand what Reich was alluding
to...it wasn't the ballot itself, but what happens in the intimidating
processes perpetrated by employers leading up to the vote. Employers
will do whatever they can to chill the pro-union vote, even when there
are more than enough cards to secure an election.
I must say, I've gotten a kick over the years of the anti-unionism
expressed here by guys who couldn't qualify as an apprentice to most
union workers.
Why can't the secret vote be taken in a much more timely manor?
Without getting into a presentation of a dissertation, let me just say
that in the last eight years the Bush Admin has stacked the deck against
unions in terms of union elections, decerts, allowing employer
intimidation, employer delays and packing the NLRB courts. Some of that
will change with the new administration, and if it does, and the playing
field is fairer, there will be less call for card certifications.
In recent years, a favorite tactic of employers has been to refuse to
negotiate in good faith, even after a union has won a rep election.
If you are interested in the subject, there's a decent synopsis here
under union busting:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_busting
I must say, I am much more a fan of the old-fashioned school of union
organizing. What happens today is far too "white collar-ish" for my
taste.
I think you avoided my question.
You missed the part about employer delays?
Mt point is, move up the election. If they can legislate check cards, they
can legislate the vote delay.
There are many ways employers can delay a vote.- Hide quoted text -

It's been hours Harry, can't you google up any answers yet? You still
haven't answered one question today..
You can't read? I told you: when you demonstrate you can
"debate/discuss" topics in a civilized adult manner, I will take the
time to take you seriously. Until then, you get short answers and simple
sentences.- Hide quoted text -

No you won't, you can't but at least you are the only one here who
believes you here.. We all know you are full of **** and have no
interest in anything beyond your own selfish liberal agenda...

But Harry, you are a liar... why should anyone trust you now after
over a decade of your bull?


You're just proving my point...you cannot behave and therefore you are
not worth the time for a civilized discussion.
