An interesting proposal for card check

December 18th, 2008

Kaus reader provides a counteroffer for allowing union card check:

P.S.: Alert reader J emails with an interesting proposal: Let the unions have their “card check” provision–allowing them to substitute publicly-collected, signed cards saying “we want a union” for a secret ballot vote. If the union gets 51% of the employees to sign the cards, it gets recognized.  But let the employer also collect cards from employees who don’t want a union. If the employer gets 51% the union has to go away for five years. You’d hear soon enough about how collecting cards in public is unfair, opening the door to pressure tactics, intimidation, etc.. …

Damn fine idea, I say. There is nothing like watching a propaganda-fueled organization spontaneously morph when caught flatfooted.
