Question

The Employee Free Choice Act is a controversial piece of legislation that would drastically change labor relations policies. Perhaps its most controversial provision is the "card check-only certification" option which eliminate a secret-ballot election if the union is able to procure signed authorization cards from more than 50% of affected employees. Supporters argue that this is necessary to prevent employers from intimidating employees into voting against union certification during the organizing drive. Opponents claim this legislation would take away workers' rights to a secret-ballot election and may leave them vulnerable to coercion from union organizers to sign authorization cards, and secret ballot elections are one of America's basic rights. If you were a legislator, would you vote in favor of or opposed to this provision of the Employee Free Choice Act? Explain your reasoning.
