We just had an election, but just 6 of us voted out of 100. under the new law, the election is still valid?

Unions are the storm troopers of socialism.

I get the national right to work newsletter and I found a disturbing item in the recent issue. In illinois, the SEIU will be going to the homes of home care workers who voted against unionization in hopes of "encoraging" them to reconsider.

The additional 4,500 home-care providers who are not yet under union control soundly rejected unionmembership by a two-to-one margin in a mail-in vote. However, per Quinn’s executive order, the home-care providers may again be subject to out-of-state SEIU and American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) union organizers making “home visits” attempting to organize the home-care providers through coercive “card check” unionization tactics.

I don't see the problem with this rule. Why should the no-shows be automatically counted as "no" votes? If they don't bother to vote, it should not be counted either way. That's only fair, IMO.

However, the vote should definitely be by secret ballot.
