I hope that this is not the only spotlight that is put on his legislative career. The man is out of touch with Mainers and support for the EFCA bill proves it.report abuse
Nonny, really. THAT's your argument? that what you say is true because the internet says so, because you can post any number of PAC-funded sites that support what you believe? This is beneath even mockery. Please, feel free to chime in again when you can talk with the grownups.report abuse
Either way..facing the truth is just too terrifying for them.report abuse
The Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), would redefine the way unions conduct organizing elections.
Instead of the traditional private ballot elections, where you and you alone know how you voted, union leaders want to make voting public by having employees sign a card indicating whether they want to pay dues for union representation.
Needless to say, this public system of “voting” —commonly referred to as “card check” — is rife with intimidation, coercion and good old-fashioned peer pressure.
Protection from such behavior is why ballot booths and private voting were invented in the first place.
Voting anywhere should be a private affair and allen and the democrats are wrong on this issue, again!
Stop electing democratsreport abuse
