Card Check 101

For those who don't get this whole debate about the Unions, Secret Ballots and the Card Check (titled the "Employee Free Choice Act" by Globama and his Glo-Team), here is a basic, honest and accurate description of what it is and what will happen if it passes:

Under Card Check, union organizers and their enforcers will be able to go into any small business, hospital or construction site and coerce workers into signing cards. If they get 50 percent plus one, the deal’s done, and the workers are forced into a union. And if management and the new union fail to reach a negotiated contract, the federal government will just impose one. Coerced unionization allows for what is effectively a new, unaccountable form of forced taxation. Workers will have a portion of their paycheck going to the union to be spent as the bosses see fit, including political donations to parties and candidates that the workers may not even support.

What’s happening in Washington this week is old style, quid-pro-quo politics – the kind President Obama pledged as a candidate to end. Supporters of the so-called Employee Free Choice Act (that’s their Orwellian name for Card Check) claim to be all about protecting American workers. But leave it to Vice President Joe Biden to inadvertently tell the truth.In a meeting with the AFL-CIO last week, Biden made it clear who’s calling the shots when it comes to American workers, businesses and jobs. He told the gathering of union big-wigs:“You all brought me to the dance a long time ago, and it’s time we start dancing.”

It's an eye-opener, and one every person should read if they are at all concerned about keeping their jobs and keeping small business in America alive and running.
