If you are talking about the "Employee Free Choice Act", passing it would not make employees go through an "open vote". Employees could still opt to vote via secret ballot. There is so much disinformation about this, I just cannot believe it.
Under current law, there is a card check process anyway. If 30% of the workforce sign a statement requesting union representaion, then a vote, whether open or secret is required by law. But the card check thing is already in play and has been for years.
What this law does is require union representaion if at the completion of the initiating card check, a majority of employees request union representation. There need be no vote. The majority have already spoken. The old rules would still apply if only 30% signed the cards.
From what I can gather the main issue for the unions and the actual "fair" part of this legislation is that rules are put in place to keep management from reprisal firings for union activity. Stiff fines, etc. More protection for those who wish to try and unionize.
Whether you are a union or non union worker how have some of these union actions affected your life?
