Issue Position: Card Check

Issue Position

Issues: Employment and Affirmative Action Labor Unions

"I oppose card check and any efforts like the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) to tip labor law in favor of unions through binding federal arbitration. I am concerned by labor unions' unrelenting campaign for card check, which would eliminate workers' right to a secret ballot in unionization elections. I believe workers' rights should be protected and that a card check system would open the door to pressure and intimidation that would disrupt the workplace and threaten businesses' livelihoods. I also oppose EFCA's arbitration provision, which would give labor and management just months to reach a labor agreement before a contract is imposed by a federal arbitrator."
