That's not in there. Either she has not read the bill, or she's lying. In a state that has the 3rd highest union rate in nation (oil workers), one would think that this issue would prove one she could be more than a puppet for Republican leadership. I guess the use of "as it's drafted" is a good sign...if someone takes a moment to remind her that her biggest hang-up on the bill doesn't actually exist, she'll think she's won! So sad. So, so sad. “One would take away the right to secret ballot…”

Keep in mind I'm in neither labor nor management, so I'm sure mileages will vary. ;) after that, neither the union, nor management has a say in how the vote is conducted?

Seems to me, both are interested parties and allowing either to have a role in the vote (or determining how it is conducted) opens the door for them to exert undue influence.
