Card Check
Position
Position: OPPOSED Status: FEDERAL BILLS INTRODUCED
The so-called "Employee Free Choice Act" (H.R. 1409, S.560) aimed to amend the National Labor Relations Act to establish an efficient system to enable employees to form, join, or assist labor organizations and to provide for mandatory injunctions for unfair labor practices during organizing, by a recorded vote. The legislation would have taken away a worker's right to a federally supervised secret-ballot process when deciding whether or not to join a union. It would have replaced secret ballots with a so-called "card-check" system that lets a union organize if a majority of workers simply sign a card. Under this flawed system, workers' signatures would be made public to the employer, the union organizers and co-workers.
