[QUOTE="brett636, post: 499310, member: 249"] Voting on a change of bylaws is much different than voting in a union to a previously non-union environment. This is a very drastic change with strong interests on both ends, both of which could be corrupted enough to take action towards those they feel they can manipulate the most. I am not saying that some manipulation doesn't take place already, but that can be multiplied times 10 in doing away with the secret ballot. I remember on election day last year I believe it was Pennsylvania there were some black Panther members standing outside a polling place trying to look as intimidating as possible. Do you really think the more meek in our society would vote there if they had to publicly announce who they voted for? A secret ballot helps protect those who are voting to make the change from having to deal with the wrath of either side as neither knows what he or she voted for. Only the end result will be known, and nothing else. [/QUOTE]
