Under present law, if union organizers can get at least 30% of employees in a company to sign petition cards requesting a union, then the National Labor Relations Board (NLR
can authorize a secret-ballot election. If more than 50% of employees sign cards, then the labor union can try to unionize the employees without a secret-ballot vote. However, the employer has the right to ask for a secret-ballot election overseen by the NLRB, to confirm that the employees really want a union to bargain for them.

Under the EFCA rules, however, if more than 50% of employees were to sign union authorization cards, then the employer’s right to request a secret-ballot election would be taken away. A secret-ballot election could still take place, but only if the labor union were to agree to hold one. Of course, no labor union would want to run the risk of being rejected by secret ballot, after "convincing" a majority of workers into signing authorization cards. Hence, those who argue that the EFCA does not remove secret-ballot elections from the union organizing process are not being completely honest.
ROMNEY: Cautionary tale of card check
Mitt Romney
I have no idea what this entails. To be honest reading your post makes me realize how ignorant I am about how government policies are created and implemented. Aren’t unions meant to help the employers so why does Romney’s article say that it is meant to protect both employers and employees? What is said is very scary? It is almost as if nothing remains in our hands. Everything is manipulated. I dread to think of such a state of affairs.
