In the interest of accurately naming bills, I recommend the following name for this legislation:

“Beating Union Opponents into Submission”

Buy more Chinese made crap. Even doing that is better for the USA than buying anything made by a union.

Organized labor is licking its chops at the chance to organize workers at Mercedes-Benz, Honda and Hyundai, along with the thousands of men and women employed by the companies that supply the assembly plants.

The Card Check slogan: "Let unions do for Mercedes-Benz, Honda and Hyundai what they already did in Detroit and the Rust Belt." Thank you, but no.

If I had employees who "organized" by card check, I'd coincidentally shut down the company, never saying it was because of the union, and fire everybody. Then I'd re-open after changing my mind in 3 months, and I'd re-hire every good worker who hadn't signed the card check.

If a union thug tried to get me to sign for card check, I'd be displeased. This is a freedom issue, and any thug who threatened me would be done with that line of work - permanently. I classify the union thugs who intimidate workers (note that this does not apply to union organizers who limit their methods to ethical means) with other terrorists, and I would respond to them identically. Let's just say I had a bad experience with union thugs - once - and that is more than enough.

If the Employee Free Choice Act passes you can bet your sweet bippy the unions will immediately head south of the Mason Dixon line and start signing up non-union automobile plants.

No wonder Detroit is dying because the unions have killed the automotive industry.

Not only do the Union heavy weights confront workers at work but they also come to their homes after work. There they are free to badger not only the worker but the worker's family. If the worker does not sign, he/she will be visited again and again and again.

The card check process can continue for years or even decades until the Union has signed up 51%. Signing the card is a trap door. Once you sign it you can not unsign it. If you signed the card five years ago but have now changed your mind - tough.

The card check process is anything but democratic but is clearly loved by the Democrats.

I have already had a “training” class warning employees not to sign anything pushed by a union, and I don’t even work in a manufacturing related business. The unions will try to unionize just about every business they can infiltrate. Watch out for lots of closures and downsizings once the unions start trying to get established in service industries, retail and even fast food. Can you imagine how bad service will be at the local burger joint if a union member is taking your order? How many union members does it take to make a Big Mac? Thirty nine-YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT?
