Look For The Union Label II (Electric Boogaloo)

Continuing on with the loathesome unions and their smarmy factotums in Congress, I give you unfree elections! That's right, our Congress is giving serious consideration to amending the National Labor Relations Act to require that any vote authorizing a union be public. The Democrats want to remove your right to a secret ballot on union authorization votes. The unions can be trusted not to intimidate voters. Just ask Chief Panderer-in-Waiting Sen. Obama, who has vowed to sign such legislation if it comes to his desk, should the peons recognize in November that his is the Chosen One.

As Dr. Sowell notes in his article linked, when you can't compete on the merits and are losing the game, change the rules. In this case, buy up members of Congress through liberal gifts of members' dues to reelection funds.

I await a reporter's question to Speaker Pelosi as to why she thinks it's OK to remove a person's right to the secret ballot. I expect one will not be forthcoming. Perhaps Speaker Pelosi can ask citizens of Cuba and Zimbabwe how the lack of secret ballot is working out for them?

March on, unions and your fellow travelers!
