George Bush and Uncle Dick have used Federal Contractors (outsourcing) and Contract Employees to try to brake the Unions that represent Civil Service Employees for nearly eight (8) years now (please escuse the Keeterisum, that means this is just opinion). If he should sign something like that it will just be undone by the Obama administration.

Anyone who supports unionization is too smart to vote.

Ok, so the private sector unions and their union members (employees) want management, their supervisors and the public to know how they voted -- individually? Won't this will split families and old friends apart - particularly when the blame game starts and management reacts to the union vote and to the individual voters lists for promotions, job assignments and even what contracts (skill mixes) to bid for and develop? I hope the union managerial proletariate class knows what its doing.

Be careful what the media reports on this issue. The Unions, some members of congress and most of the media want to take away the secret ballot available now. I don't need anyone breathing down my back to see if I favor a union or not. You don't like management - go somewhere else. No one is forcing you to work for one company or another.

Something that affects your paycheck or tax rate should be by secret ballot. Coercion or peer pressure is unacceptable to me. Might be great for union dues, but violates (what I thought was) our voting system. In my town, anything that hits the pocketbook is by sectret ballot. Vote pro-union or be ostracized (since your leanings will now be public,or at least Union, information>

This E.O would probably be a good thing for organized labor. The Bush administration is pushing on a number of fronts to achieve by executive fiat what it could not accomplish legislatively in 8 years. The reaction of Congress will almost certainly be in the form of legislation that permanently overturns these E.O.s.

If the majority of workers sign a card.The majority of workers should be able to work union.The workers that did not sign a card could either work somewhere else or join the union its a win win.

Workers should be free to vote a union up or down without the union goons in the voting booth with them.
If its OK for the unions then all of our political elections should be conducted this way
