There is no legitimate reason for getting rid of the secret ballot system. If people really want a union they are free to vote "yes" in the privacy of their own home and mail the ballot back in. If I’m an employee that wants the union, I can lie to my boss and tell him I’m voting “no” and then really vote “yes” on the secret ballot. Then again, if I’m opposed to the union, I can lie to the union organizers and my pro-union coworkers and tell them I’m voting “yes” and then vote “no” on the secret ballot. It’s the fact that people can pretend to support the organizing campaign to avoid harassment and intimidation by union thugs that makes the socialists so angry. In their mind they believe workers have a right to be in a union, but that they don’t have a right to not be in a union, and they don’t have a right to vote “no” in an organizing campaign. The socialists think that those of us who have voted “no” in a secret ballot union election are either stupid, selfish, or a cowardly. Well I am none of those three and I did vote “no” on my secret ballot last year along with 87 of my coworkers while only 12 voted “yes.” The big labor socialists just can’t accept the fact that most people don’t want unions and aren't willing to pay dues.
