“Free Choice” is an Opportunity

Employers dread the “Employee Free Choice Act.”  They say it will make it possible to coerce workers into publicly checking a card for a union because it eliminates the need for a secret ballot in Union elections.  Unions love it.  They believe that organizing a workplace today is too hard and that management uses today’s structured certification process to intimidate workers.  I say that change is….

But I have a question?  Will it be possible to use “Card Check” to de-certify from one union and join another one.  It should be.  That simple act would make Unions compete and competition is good it lowers costs and improves service.

I propose to start Simons Discount Union.  This is an example of how it will work: Teachers in California pay about $100 per month in Union dues.  Simons Discount Union (SDU) will give the same representiation for $50 per month saving the average teacher $500 a year.

SDU’s proposal will be simple: “All you have to do is check this card asking to change union representation.  Your card stays secret until we have cards from a majority of the teacher in this district.  Then we start saving you money.”
