June 8: Secret Ballots Aren't Enough
Print

election_crop Opponents of the Employee Free Choice Act have a one-note strategy to derail reform of our broken labor law system.  The anti-union, right-wing, business lobby simply spins the same broken record of lies, over and over again

Track 1 is the bogus assertion: "The bill does away with secret ballot elections, and, elections without secret ballots are undemocratic." Track 2 is the counterfeit claim: "Elections for union representation are just like elections for Congress."

American Rights at Work can't turn off their cacophony, but we can expose the lies of these lip synchers.

We've created a chart that makes clear that current union elections involving secret ballots bear no resemblance to political elections.

  • force employers to stop dragging out contract negotiations.
