CNBNews Op-Ed: No Secret Ballot For GOP Endorsement Is Same As Union Card Check

 

Related: FREINDLY FIRE

by Chris Freind

The Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), commonly known as “Card Check,” is the misnamed

legislation promoted by Organized Labor to stop the hemorrhaging within union ranks.  (From a high near 40 percent after World War II, union representation in the private sector has plummeted to just 7 percent today). It would make organizing a union infinitely easier by eliminating the current secret ballot vote used to determine whether employees wish to unionize. 

 

 Common sense tells us that whenever a secret ballot is not employed, many people will not vote their conscience.  Instead, they fall victim to intimidation and arm-twisting, and end up casting a ballot in favor of the person whom they are strongly encouraged ---AKA “told” --- to support.  The result is a rigged, Banana Republic election, anything but “Free Choice.”

review earlier this month. The-44-page document contains the names of the 100 most influential personalities in New Jersey politics. Coming in at Number 3 was South Jersey Democrat political boss George Norcross. 

 

The list, first released in March 2000, is an Insiders List that includes policy makers, party leaders, fundraisers, lobbyists, labor unions, businesses, and associations with clout, with an impact on politics and government in the Garden State -- everyone but elected officials and judges.

 

In November elections, the state’s most powerful Democratic boss maintained control over his South Jersey legislative empire and picked up a seat in the assembly. Not only will his close ally, state Senate President Steve Sweeney (D-3) remain in power for another two year term, but Norcross cut a deal with state Senator Nick Sacco (D-32) that increases South Jersey’s power in the Assembly, ushering in South Jersey Assemblyman Lou Greenwald as majority leader of the lower house. ~ from PolitickerNJ.com Power List 2011.
