Enabling Union Thugs, Part Two Power Line Earlier today, John wrote about how, in a thank-you to organized labor for its role in November's elections, the congressional Dems are attempting to deprive American workers of the right to a secret ballot in union certification elections. Pat Cleary at the NAM blog is, of course, all over this story. In this post (linked below), he exposes some of the falsehoods that organized labor is peddling in order sell this patently un-American attack on freedom of the ballot box. UPDATE: The pro-union, anti-democratic legislation has passed the House by a vote of 228-183. However, Senator McConnell has vowed to prevent the bill from becoming law. He noted that "in 2001, a group of Democrat lawmakers wrote on behalf of Mexican workers that `the secret ballot is absolutely necessary in order to ensure that workers are not intimidated into voting for a union they might not otherwise choose.'" McConnell added that his party "will not allow. . .coercion by employers or unions. . .and [will] stop this attempt to strip away workers' rights." JOHN adds: This vote is a great test of the "conservative" Democrats who won in November. When I have time later on, I'll track down the roll call and see which Democrats were actually willing to cast an honest vote in the face of union pressure.
