\nToday, President-elect Barack Obama named<\/a> his pick for Labor Secretary, California Congresswoman Hilda Solis. Unsurprisingly, union bosses are rallying<\/a> behind the pick.\n<\/p>\n

\nSolis is a prominent supporter of the so-called Employee Free Choice Act (a.k.a. the Card Check Forced Unionism Bill), which would replace the secret ballot with intimidating "card check" campaigns in which union goons repeatedly harass workers at work and at home to sign union authorization cards. Once the union collects a simple majority of these public "votes," every worker in the bargaining unit loses the right to negotiate directly with the employer.\n<\/p>\n

\nBut in January 2007, Solis joined other members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus to protest the lack of a secret ballot in the election for CHC officials. The San Diego Union-Tribune<\/i> has a good summary<\/a> of their complaint (emphasis added):\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n\tOn Wednesday, Sanchez did not elaborate on the claim of election rules violation. However, in a letter to Baca earlier this month, she, her sister, Solis and Velazquez contended the vote did not follow procedure because secret ballot votes were not taken.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\tThe letter requested a new vote, by secret ballot.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhile this request is not likely to change the results, and while it may seem like a mere formality, it is important that the integrity of the CHC be unquestioned and above reproach<\/b>,\u201d it said.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nThere you have it — incoming Labor Secretary Hilda Solis is on the record favoring the secret ballot as "unquestioned and above reproach." But only when it protects her <\/i>from intimidation.\n<\/p>\n
