"Unions hope bill energizes organizing," Houston Chronicle Online
In this article discussing the impending ruling on the Employee Free Choice Act- which enables Card Checks for Unions, Littler's Mark Jodon notes the bill isn't fair to employees or employers. "No wonder unions do not want elections, if they can avoid them," Jodon said. Jodon argues that free employee choice is based on secret ballot elections. It's too easy for union leaders to intimidate employees into signing something they don't really understand. And employers want a chance to present their side, he said, because it's too one-sided if it's just a discussion between a union representative and an employee.
