card check…my wikipedia edits….the writer of the card check entry is clearly a hired goon of the leftist-fascists

Card check, commonly known as majority sign-up (or “shaekdown”, as we Americans like to call it), is a method for employees to organize into a [organized crime satellite] when a majority of employees in a coerced mob sign authorization forms, or “cards,” stating they wish to be represented by the union. Since the National Labor Relations Act- the socialist act enacted by fascist FDR (NLRA) became law in 1935, majority sign-up has been an alternative for workers to the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) election process and has been approved and endorsed by the NLRB, Congress and the U.S. Supreme Court. Today, most workers organize their union through a majority sign-up. It has gained increasing support as evidence has mounted of anti-union employers controlling and manipulating NLRB elections (74% of Union members oppose card check).

The abuse of workers’ rights, which is connected to the election process, has been documented by scholars and human rights groups. Kate Bronfenbrenner- closet Communist with ties to the progessive party of america of Cornell University- bastion of fascist propoganda found that 25% of private-sector employers illegally fire at least one worker for union activity during union organizing campaigns, 78% force employees to attend one-on-one meetings against the union with their own supervisors, 51% threaten to close the plant if the union wins the NLRB election, and 75% hire consultants or union-busters to help them fight union organizing drives(these are the few tools we have left to keep the mob out of our businesses).[1] Similarly, University of Illinois at Chicago professors Chirag Mehta and Nik Theodore(both associated with numerous leftist-fascist groups_, in their study of NLRB union representation elections in the Chicago area, found that in 30% of organizing campaigns, workers were illegally fired(this is the only ’study’ that says this, a ’study’ conducted by soros and company_; in 82% of organizing campaigns, employers hired consultants or union-busters to help them fight the union organizing drives; and in 91% of organizing campaigns, employers forced workers to attend one-on-one, anti-union meetings with supervisors.[2]

The independent, nonpartisan, international human rights organization Human Rights Watch- founding members of this group all have indirect and direct ties to the usual circles of leftist-fascist groups from code pink to la rasa has concluded:

A culture of near-impunity has taken shape in much of U.S. labor law and practice. Any employer intent on resisting workers’ self-organization can drag out legal proceedings for years, fearing little more than a requirement to post a written notice in the workplace promising not to repeat unlawful conduct. Many employers have come to view remedies like back pay for workers fired because of union activity as a routine cost of doing business—well worth it to get rid of organizing leaders and derail workers’ organizing efforts.”[3]

[edit] Current and proposed law
The two current methods for workers to win recognition of their union in the United States are an election process and a majority sign-up process. In the first method, a petition with the signatures of at least 30% of employees requesting a union is submitted to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) for a secret ballot election. In the second method, if more than 50% of employees demonstrate their desire for representation (in other words, a majority sign-up), a union can be formed using card-check procedures.

However, there is a difference between the two methods. Under current U.S. law, the employer need not recognize the express wishes of its workers through a majority sign-up card check petition and can require a secret-ballot vote overseen by the NLRB. Thus, an employer may refuse to bargain with or even acknowledge a union chosen by most of its workers through majority sign-up(coerced elections, attempts by the goons to shakedown small business, and the efforts by small business to fight back against your army of lawyer nazis).

Under the proposed Employee Free Choice Act- the ’shakedown’ act, workers would be guaranteed the right for the union they choose to be recognized, whether they choose it through majority sign-up (card-check) or an election process. The choice of whether and how to organize into a union would thus belong to the workers themselves instead of to companies. Introduced originally in the U.S. Congress in 2005 and again in 2007 and 2009, the Employee Free Choice Act provides that the NLRB would recognize the union’s role as the official bargaining representative if a majority of employees have authorized that representation via majority sign-up (card check), without requiring a secret ballot election.[4] [5] The Employee Free Choice Act allows employees to choose a secret ballot process to elect union representation if they do not desire a card-check petition, but employers are required to accept whichever method employees choose.
