Union Secret Ballot Vote Under Attack

The ability to cast a vote in America any way you want to, and to do it secretly, is one of our sacred rights. Yet we have under attack by the Obama administration and certain union heads a union members right to vote in secret. There is an attempt to have union votes be open so that all can see how a member votes. This allows all sorts of intimidation, reprisals, and retributions to take place. It should never happen.

When looking at union issues it is very important to separate out issues from the perspective of union leadership vs. what union members really want. Often reported is what the union leadership wants and this is interpreted as being a universal union want, including all membership. In many cases this is far from the truth.

The true agenda is to use this open vote ballot as a way to intimidate and control union members, and to unionize more work places by this form of intimidation. This is something that the administration in Washington wants since it effectively gives more power to the federal government. It is all part of federal government control of all aspects of American life.

Union membership does not want to give up their sacred right to vote by secret ballot. Why would they?
