Think before you ink!&quot; until the individual who might have signed the union operative&#8217;s petition decides against it and leaves.  Nevada&#8217;s top teacher union official Lynn Warne denounced the actions as &quot;thug tactics&quot; (which is ironic because according to this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ballotpedia.org\/wiki\/index.php?title=Petition_blocking#History_of_petition_blocking\">website<\/a>, the tactic was invented by union organizers in Oregon).\n<\/p>\n<p>\nNormally there wouldn&#8217;t be much to add to this story, but a closer look reveals another example of a nasty pattern: <i>Union bosses have realized that absent opposing viewpoints or the privacy of the secret ballot, they have no problem getting anyone to sign anything.<\/i>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nHowever, when employees or employers insist on providing an opposing viewpoint or demanding a secret ballot election union officials have considerably more trouble selling their power grabs.  Rather than persuade workers (or in this case registered voters in Nevada) on the merits, they&#8217;d rather hoodwink or pressure them into signing &#8212; while denouncing the presentation of an opposing viewpoint as &quot;thug tactics.&quot;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\nHere&#8217;s an interesting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lasvegassun.com\/news\/2008\/may\/05\/mischief-making-blockers-are-signature-gatherers-b\/\">story<\/a> (via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eiaonline.com\/communique.htm\">EIA<\/a>) from Nevada where teacher union officials are gathering signatures to put a massive tax increase on the ballot in November.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAccording to the <i>Las Vegas Sun<\/i>, union political operatives, who need to collect tens of thousands of signatures in order to put the tax hike on the ballot, are having trouble getting people to sign because &quot;blockers&quot; who oppose the tax increase are voicing their opposition to prospective signers during the collection process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[889],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-258","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>No Questions Please.
