I wish people would really study the truth in this bill and stop listening to all the right wing talking heads that tell them its no good!!! It's time to give some voice back to the working man and women of this country not just the big bosses!!!!!

What does Card Check have to do with giving the worker a voice?

I always love it when the AirAmerica crowd says don't listen to the right. Why are they so afraid.

When the Big Bosses move their company offshore because they are tired of a bunch of Socialists telling them what is best for their company. Do you think that the Union is going to pay the bills?

decert votes are not private. the employer tries to pressure them in public, in groups. so WHY N0T vote a union in view of everyone?

I have this funny feeling you dont like unions, and it seems to me if you were against them, why not say it in public? why not tell others how you feel?
I have NEVER been pressured by an employer on "how" to vote in an UNION election OR a "decert".
If you guys want "open voting", why not just cast your Political Votes openly as well?
Don't worry....that's next.

I have,..And I have seen first hand what a company dose after it wins a decert,..I have seen the wages slashed,insurance eliminated,...and working conditions deteriorate,......
The funny thing is the same owners and managers that cut our wages down were taking raises and receiving bonuses,..These same people were always bragging about the company's profits month,...Yet there was no way they would allow the working man to get his wages and insurance back....
I consider myself a conservative,but I am all for collective bargaining for those of us that try to work for a living....

Most of the jobs we have lost, have gone to either socialist/commie countries. How many companies went to Canada, alot. I lost my job to Canada. My Dad is losing his job non union. We almost lost a huge portion of trucking to Mexico. Even when trucking wages have been collapsing. So unions are forcing companies to China a communist government? Companies will always take the cake and eat it, if we workers let them. "I own this company, I'm not letting some commie union in here. So I'm closing the gate movin it to communist China.

Hopefully not for long. Move your company move your house. I dont think card check will haunt us like DAC. Do you really think the unions are thugging it out. News Flash the companies have found a new vigilante man its called technology. Ain't gotta worry about bats anymore when you can smear,cancel,cross out a man by the touch of key.
