The antiWalMart Act

The anti Wal Mart act known as the Employee Free Choice Act is nothing more then an effort to ruin more companies . Especially targeting Wal mart and its policies. There is nothing good about this forced unionization of the work force by more socialist. A way of taking choice away from the worker and placing it in the hands of more thieves who will do nothing more then steal another chunk of ones paycheck. All in the name of the greater good of the union and the worker.

Claims of up to 60 million Americans want to form unions right now are the largest misleading propaganda out there right now. This claim would, when put to the truth, say that one third of the nations work force is looking to unionise. A LIE nothing more. With two hundred million supposedly in the work force right now this would put a figure close to one third wanting to unionise. Meaning that the one third already reported as being in a union would add another third to their rolls leaving a third non union. What these polls fail to show is who is being polled. A fact that union membership is on the decline, the polls are taken in high unionised areas skewing the results. Much like political polls that show one side leading over another to influence the rest of us into thinking we are loosing or winning in a campaign.

The Employee Freedom in Choice act does nothing more then benefit unions who are not getting their way and getting into companies like Wal Mart. All a union has to do under this act is request an arbitrator and drag their feet on any negotiations. Then after ten days of not being able to achieve a workable agreement, the government will send in a pro labor arbitrator to settle the dispute.

What does this mean. Simplified it means that the government will institute unions into the workplace over the choice of the many who may not want a union. All it takes is one person to call for unionization and a union willing to take on the case. Represent the single person in negotiations, stall on any agreement , then receive favorable acts from the government and viola. A union is now in place in the company. Despite a major non supporting union employee majority.

This is a back door method of dictating to those who believe in free choice, that they are now going to have their rights taken over by some bureaucrat behind a desk across the country. Governor Bill Ritter supports this as he is a beholding to unions as are all democrats in elected office.

We are seeing political payback in the form of bailout monies amount to nothing more then open and blatant payoffs for votes to the unions. Now more payback is on the way as the Democratic party is going to mandate unions in all work places.

Unions once served a purpose. Yes they did increase wages and improve work conditions. However their time like the dinosaurs is over. the government has established agencies that oversee work conditions from safety (OSHA) to wages (labor board), to certain benefits. Benefits that are going to change for the worse as freedom in choice of health care are being eliminated.

Do not think that this is a good policy and benefit for the worker. It is a move to dictate and oppress the worker even further than we already are.
