Talk:Card check

message: I've removed some content that discusses this act. Since there is a separate article about the act, we don't need to duplicate that in the Card check article - we just need to make clear what the proposed act is all about, so that interested readers can follow the link to the article about the act, and read further there, if desired.  -- John Broughton   (♫♫) 15:46, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

message: I take issue with the statement that a "Republican-led filibuster" caused the card check bill to fail in the Senate in 2007.  The Democrats recently have given in to the Republican minority, and they will accept defeat without actually requiring a Republican filibuster.  To me, a filibuster would occur when the Democrats are trying to pass a bill, and the Republicans would be forced to hold the floor for hours and days on end to prevent the vote from taking place.  But the Democrats don't make the Republicans actually filibuster.  Rather, they hold a "cloture vote" and then meekly back down when they do not get 60 votes.  So I changed the text to reflect this.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sghalltn (talk • contribs) 03:12, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

message: simpler, factual, non biased, letting each side have their say, without leading the reader astray.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.99.88.254 (talk) 22:03, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  ITS BETTER NOW  

message: History section needs more factual information in 3 categories - 1.Incidences of inhumane abuse of employees where a union became necessary.  2.  Positive economic impact for the cost of living of the employee class.  3. Negative economic impact tothe cost of living, if any, to the employee class
The reason for this is that the Card Check entry in Wiki. may be the only research into the subject of unions an employee has time to make before making a decision.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.146.136.29 (talk) 23:06, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Krugman doesn't mention Card Check, he mentions "laying the groundwork" for the EFCA.  What is quoted is extremely misleading.  To say he is in favor of unions or parts of the EFCA doesn't in the slightest mean he is in favor of Card Check. 76.166.204.89 (talk) 04:46, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Krugman is being creatively quoted  

message: I'm new to this topic, but as a student, I see both defenders of Card Check and defenders of the current system claiming that the Wiki article is biased against their viewpoint. This is clear evidence that the article has the right balance.

replies: text: Well, for those of us who live in the Real World, and not Fantasyland, it is pretty clear that if the local union enforcers Moose and Rocco are breathing down your neck, you're probably going to sign that card unless you want to end up with a few broken ribs and slashed tires.  The nice thing about a secret ballot is that you can sign the card to avoid a beating, and then tell the union boys to go stuff themselves by voting No in the secret ballot.  Open Card would get rid of this right, which is a major change.  Effectively, it would allow union thugs to coerce employees into signing cards without the natural check and balance that a subsequent secret ballot would provide.  In other words, the thugs win again.  *This* is what the argument is about.Ndriley97 (talk) 00:30, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

message: Warren Buffet is currently quoted referring to card-check in an interview on CNBC. However, that quote is not referenced in any way. Is that not an unverified source?
