This bill will only open the door to deception, harassment, or worse actions. Reaching out to your elected officials is the best way to defeat this. I was on the US Chamber's site and found this letter you can send to the folks in Congress if you have a spare moment: http://capwiz.com/friendsoftheuschamber/issues/alert/?alertid=12426031. We need to make sure every worker has the freedom to choose what's best for themselves and their families.
What is wrong with dropping the arbitration and going for a super majority in card check? Everybody gets what they want. A super majority of 60 to 75% shows that the unions are not doing away with an election of 50% plus one, and the whole statute was based upon negotiations, so binding arbitration is not required.
What is needed in the workplace is “voice with choice”. Among choices that should be available are: (1) “I choose to speak for myself regarding wages, hours, and/or working conditions,” (2) “I prefer to be part of a group of co-workers to speak with our employer about wages, hours, and/or working conditions,” and (3) “I want an outside group or association or traditional union to speak for me on such topics.” What is not needed in today’s workplace, and certainly not as the only option, is 19th century industrial unionism. Private sector union density has declined for decades to a statistical insignificance of 7.6% despite both good and bad economic and political times. Promoting legislation to preserve an antiquated, single voice, paternalistic model will not satisfy. Today’s unionism is an antiquated voice model with an earned reputation for destroying industries, businesses, and jobs; for failing to address individual workers’ aspirations, needs and concerns; and for ignoring today’s global, interwoven economy, and staggering varietal of work, in favor of primal pay-to-play politics rather than working appropriate solutions for workers at individual worksites. Try something new. All human endeavors run their course.
I've been a union member when the seat of power in the union was in another state. That was where our dues went to support their political machinery and we were left out of any support. "Right to Work" is the only fair game - take care of your own needs without the goons bleeding you.
