Employee Free Choice Act may actually undermine employees' free choice by Angela Xu, Jul 31, 2008 (8:20pm)

This bill would eliminate the secret ballot practice used to determine whether to organize a union, and replace that with a public card signing. Opponents argue that this would leave workers open to coercion from their union colleagues, and that the card signing is undemocratic. Small businesses also say that this measure would cut them out of the wage bargaining process, weakening them tremendously. Unions like the bill because it provides an easy way for them to bolster membership at a time when their numbers are declining. President Bush has threatened to veto this bill if it passes Congress.
