Hoyer Says "Card Check" Bill Just Around the Corner

Added: Nov 24, 2008

Duration: 2:48

The Democrat-led Congress worked tirelessly over the past two years to deliver paybacks to Big Labor bosses for spending hundreds of million of dollars of their members money on getting Democrats elected to Congress and to the White House. Now, it comes as no surprise that Dems will work early on in the next Congress to strip union workers of their right to a secret ballot in union elections.

Nov 25, 2008 - Having had a union forced down my throat I would not like the card check. I have been in an election where the union forced itself on us, via you vote, or your tires are slashed

Dec 1, 2008 - What a HUGE pile of horse sh*t! But then again, unions for the most part are horse sh*t!

Dec 1, 2008 - I've never been a union worker or worked in that kind of environment since I was a teenager. Seems like Hoyer didn't answer the question about voting, or did I miss something? There's more to this than the secret ballot issue, it is the timelines and binding arbitraion, giving labor and management only 90 days to reach an agreement. Interestingly, the bill provides for a secret ballot to decertify a represntative (union). I think the bill is a pile of dung.

Dec 2, 2008 - Unions are dying because they are dinosauers which are no longer needed. In Louisville, Union jobs at Ford have now dropped to $10 per hour starting wage. Why do we need a union to deliver wages that are equal to fast food?

Dec 9, 2008 - I'm not against unions like the rest of these higher income republicans, but I do recognize that he ignored the question. We should have secret ballots, and if there is a reason why we shouldn't, the man shouldn't have bs'd through the question like he did. He clearly is hiding something.

Dec 10, 2008 - Hoyer knows the words coming out of his mouth is complete bullshit. But he's too much of a union-pussy-whipped politician to tell the truth about the bill. I love how Wallace compared the Congressional Caucus election hypocrisy.
