Z, > I'm curious why you think EFCA is so bad... what don't you like about it?

The elimination of the secret ballot.

I went to the AFL-CIO web site, and they claim the following:

> Workers’ immediate supervisors often meet individually with employees to urge them to oppose their co-workers’ efforts to form a union. Frequently, supervisors keep tallies of whether individual workers support the union and report back to higher-ups about individual employees’ views on union representation. Therefore, even if there is a secret ballot election, individual employees’ views are often anything but “private.”

That is a very weak justification. How the heck do supervisors know which individual workers support the unions if the ballots are secret?

The unions are not being honest, which is a big red flag to me.
