Much has been made regarding a recent Wall street Journal article in which a simple sentence was literally cut in half in an attempt to create a major “A-HAA” moment, with the Journal supposedly admitting that card-check did not eliminate the secret-ballot after all.
After watching the pro-union blogosphere seize this moment, I was hoping against hope that they would report on this stunning admission, taking directly from a union sponsored blog, which finally offered up the truth, albeit wrapped in a blanket of deceit. Instead of offering a few carefully selected words, here’s the whole paragraph:
“Under the Employee Free Choice Act any union who receives majority support of those workers seeking to be represented by that particular union, will still have the right to file an election with the NLRB to conduct a secret ballot election if it so chooses. However I would agree this would be unlikely if a union does receive a majority support for a number of reasons.”
It goes on to offer;
…why would any union take a chance conducting an election with the possibility of losing such an election…”
I won’t hold my breath waiting to see this quote on Keith or Rachel’s show.
