So you don’t think a Union would make the plant any safer for workers?

The Employee Free Choice Act, a bill that would allow unions to organize worksites without secret-ballot elections...

In other words, vote your mind - but everyone is going to KNOW how you voted. Your vote is no longer secret, your vote is now PUBLIC. So, vote how ever you want - just don't expect to be able to keep your opinion quiet, or that there won't be any reprecussions for voting against the 'party line'.

If the union tells you to vote one way, and you think it's in your best interests to vote the other way, don't be surprised to see your car trashed, your house burned down, your family threatened or your life endangered. They now have the right to KNOW who voted, and which way they voted.

Is there any legitimate reason to know how someone voted?

At what cost to the company? There's already OSHA and dozens of other federal and state laws ensuring a safe workplace.

In a word, NO!!!

I once worked in an aluminum mill that was a union shop, saw a guy fall into a vat of molten aluminum.

I guess what I am saying is that accidents happen in union shops as well as non union shops.

That’s a false dichotomy. It’s not a choice between safety or no labor union. Labor unions are not the only reason employers work to improve safety in the workplace. If unions were 100% responsible for workplace safety, then why aren’t workers dying off in droves in the Right to Work states

Unions are anti-American and should be outlawed.

Maybe.

Would a Union make the plant, or anywhere outside the plant more dangerous for workers that didn't vote in favor of a union?
