Coalition Writes Congress in Opposition to Union Card Check Bill
November 20, 2008 - Looking ahead to the 111th Congress, the Coalition for a Democratic Workplace (CDW) sent a letter to all incoming Members of Congress to underscore collective industry opposition to so-called "Card Check" legislation. If enacted, this bill would reverse 70+ years of American labor law by forcing companies to recognize a union if a majority of workers signs cards indicating their desire to unionize. The current process, which requires a secret ballot election in order to install a union, would be eliminated by this proposal, thus opening employees up to a level of union intimidation unprecedented in the modern era.
AMT is a member of CDW and serves on its Lobbying Committee.
