Gallup: Majority Of Americans Support Employee Free Choice Act

By Matthew Bandyk

Posted: March 17, 2009

The effort to pass the Employee Free Choice Act is gaining momentum. A possible speed bump in the form of news that Citigroup downgraded Wal-Mart based on the EFCA hardly seemed to matter. A new Gallup poll, conducted March 14 to 15th, finds that 53 percent of Americans support the bill, which would make unionization easier, among other things.

Most surprisingly, the poll even finds that 60 percent of Republicans support the EFCA.

Rephrase your questions

If you believe that you really are not very intelligent. Ask the right question and you will get the right answer.

Don't ask people if they are for FREE CHOICE. . . this isn't about FREE CHOICE. . . it's about easier UNIONIZATION and getting UNION DUES.

Ask them if they are for GIVING UP THEIR RIGHTS TO A SECRET BALLOT ELECTION to determine if as a group they want to be Unionized. . .

Ask that question to the same audience.

To Rick

You need to get a life. Get a better job if you feel beaten down. Or, better yet, try running a business to see what it's like to meet payroll.
