We are beginning to climb out of the mess caused by corporate deregulation and a lack of accountability. The Employee Free Choice Act simply allows employees to form collective bargaining units simply by having a majority of workers sign authorization cards. Workers should have the right to discuss things like workplace safety, employee safety training, their need for health insurance coverage and their need for adequate retirement plans without corporate oversight and intimidation.
Any corporate entity is designed to resist anything that increases the costs of operations and they do by getting rid of good workers who want to earn a reasonable living. They reward their top management with large bonuses for coercive practices that should be illegal and prosecuted.
Our legislature only drags its feet on such a common sense issue because they want the corporate payouts that fund their next campaign. It is frustrating to watch this reality rob taxpayer coffers with unethical practices and a corporate media that prints what the robbers pay them to print.
The Employee Free Choice Act will bring with it accountability and a real team effort because everyone wins except those who have been robbing what rightfully belongs to the workers.
