dRay (and others) - what's your vibe on Card Check?
If they could actually get a "timely" secret ballot which apparently seems to be impossible else why come up with the card check idea? If the worker has to sign the card they are wide open for retaliation. As to the NLRB maybe that's why all the workers there said "Ciao Chao" after the 2008 elections.

It always amuses me when anti free traders say "First they must adopt out labour laws." We have labour laws? WHo knew?
