WFI responds to lawsuit against Arizona over secret ballot

Rather than let workers utilize a secret ballot election to decide if they want to join a union, Big Labor prefers a free-to-peek card check petition drive.

But the people of Arizona voted in a law to prevent this madness.

However, President Obama's radicalized NLRB does what Big Labor tells it to do.

From a Workforce Fairness Institute press release:

WFI Responds To Lawsuit Against Arizona Over Secret Ballot

Washington, D.C. (May 6, 2011) – The Workforce Fairness Institute (WFI) today released the following statement in response to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) suing the state of Arizona over its defense of the secret ballot:

"Another day and another bailout from President Obama's labor board to union bosses," said Fred Wszolek, spokesman for the Workforce Fairness Institute (WFI). "The White House owns the actions of these labor radicals turned government bureaucrats and will answer to the American people."

BACKGROUND:"Federal Regulators Sue Arizona Over Union Law":
"Federal labor regulators have sued the state of Arizona over a state constitutional amendment that limits how workers can choose whether they want union representation. The amendment passed by voters last year requires workers to hold secret ballot elections before a company can be unionized. The National Labor Relations Board says the amendment interferes with federal law. Current law gives employers the choice of recognizing a union if a majority of workers sign cards, a process known as card check. Arizona's attorney general has vowed to fight the lawsuit. Business groups that pushed the ballot measure say they fear Congress will require all businesses to recognize card check."
