This author has it completely wrong about • Proposition 113, Arizona Save Our Secret Ballot Amendment. What he does not understand is that the secret ballot idea is strictly to give employers time and leisure to threaten and cajole workers OUT of having a union. The card check doesn't intimidate anybody, it's over in a minute, the deed is done, and if a majority of workers want a union, they have it.
On the other hand, having to wait for the NLRB to arrange a secret ballot allows the employers time to intimidate, threaten, and harass workers into voting against the union. Why do employers support this particular secret ballot? Because employers do not want workers to unite and ask for fair treatment as a group. Employers love the idea of the so-called 'secret ballot' because they emphatically don't want workers to have a voice in how they are treated at work.
