[QUOTE="Dark_Team_135, post: 596170, member: 17242"] DB, The thing is that this bill isn't the whole text of the NLRA. It only changes the sections that it refers to. The rest of the text of the NLRA remains. Therefore if as few as 30% of the employees sign a petition asking for an election, they will get one. This is true if the union can't get at least 50% + 1 of the members to sign cards in favor of the union there will still be a secret ballot election. The difference is that now the employer doesn't get to make this call as they were able to before even if 100% of the employees signed cards. BTW, card-check or majority sign-up has been in the NLRA since it started in 1935 but the employer has to agree for it to be used. And it has been many times in the past. Also, since you seem to be so hell bent on secret ballots being used to form Unions, how do you feel about them NOT being required to decertify Unions under current law? Under current law, no election is necessary to disband a union. The Employee Free Choice Act would not change this. Under current law, if an employer has evidence, such as cards or a petition, that a majority of workers no longer supports the union, then the employer is required by law to withdraw recognition of the union and stop bargaining, without an election, unless the employer files for an election. Just wondering.... The full text of the NLRA is here: [url]http://www.nlrb.gov/[/url] [/QUOTE]
