Obama's Payback To The Union Bosses
The Washington Examimer letter "Workers are smart enough to choose union protection" is ridiculous. The suggestion that unions have nothing to do with the economic collapse of GM and Ford defies logic and reason. And while it's true that car companies in Japan are suffering financial setbacks like the rest of the world, to compare their financial situation to GM and Ford is again ridiculous.
Toyota currently has a market cap of 101 billion dollars. This is 30 times more than Ford, and 100 times more than GM. Financially, Toyota is light years ahead of its American counterparts.
The Employee Free Choice Act is simply a way for the Obama administration to pay back the big union bosses who supported the Obama campaign in 2008. By taking away the right to a secret ballot, and allowing the big union bosses to intimidate workers into joining the union, this legislation serves nobody.
Ironically, if the letter writer actually believes what he is saying, that employees are smart enough to choose for themselves whether or not they want to unionize, the letter writer would not support this legislation. He doesn't believe it, and he is correct not to believe it. Many employees know better.
The fact that unions feel they must deny workers a secret ballot says volumes about what's really going on. As the parasitic unions shut down manufacturing plants in the Northeast, they feel compelled to spread their virus South to maintain their rolls and their dues funding. And they know that nobody with a sane mind and a long term employment objective would buy into the oft-proved disaster plan that the unions offer, so they turn to intimidation and fear as their only real options.
