Union complains about lost election

AFL-CIO blog complains again EFCA is needed because unions cannot win secret ballot elections. Commenting on the Union's loss at Blue Diamond, the writer notes a "judge" ruled the election conducted was valid, even though the union claims the company acted unfairly. Claiming that unspecified wrongdoing went "unpunished" the blogger says this is why EFCA is needed. My goodness, the union lost the election 142-353. The articles in the click thrus do not describe employer conduct that is unlawful. According to NLRB statistics unions win 55-60% of the elections conducted. Its not the process, its the product. Informed employees reject unionization. With EFCA unions want to prevent a reasonable period of time to discuss issues before employees sign a card or cast a ballot.
