i’m still a newbie on a lot of political topics but tell me
does this mean secretarys in the gov’t sector and private sector have a right to form a union?

[allmost]

Orwellian is a good description. This includes the private ballot alterations that protected somewhat against union thuggery. How small of an employee number base is affected by this?

This law takes away the secret ballot from workers voting on whether or not to unionize...leaving them open to intimidation.

How the Employee Free Choice Act Takes Away Workers' Rights
The Employee Free Choice Act would strip workers of their fundamental rights and leave them more vulnerable to pressure than before.

Anything Human Rights Watch says you can believe pretty much the exact opposite is true.

Well well well - this is sure to stimulate the economy I think they should go for it/sarc...

[CSM]

Everyone already has the freedome to enter into collective bargaining agreements. However, currently they vote on it via secret ballots, and generally when people are free to make the choice in private they decide against unionization. This will eliminate the private ballots and allow the thugs to increase the voting via intimidation.

First up, unionize WalMart. Then move to unionize every business in America. Burger joints, restaurants, convenience store clerks, everything.

And with the new bill Obama signed, allowing anyone to sue their employer for all past wages they did not get compared to a higher paid fellow worker, should be the final nail in the coffin of all small business, or people trying to start one.

Watch unemployment to go over 20% by 2010. Even beyond the 21% it reached during the Carter years.
