The Employee Free Choice Act is expected to play a critical role in improving the lives of poor and working class families by giving them the opportunity to negotiate their own economic security. The Act provides workers an opportunity to form unions through card checks or secret ballot elections. Under the current law, management has the power to decide whether to recognize a union through card checks or secret ballot elections, often times intimidating workers through the election process.

Just another LIBERAL cover to move the Republic to a SOCIALIST State. You and your organization remind me of the German-American Bund which touted Fascism. You are simply a mouth piece for the jahadist and your efforts are to undermine the safety and security of the Republic by claiming discrimination.
