Employer already has ‘free choice’
In response to the letter written by Ruth Schepp, owner of Ivory Leathers, which appeared in the Oct. 18 Forum, that voiced her support for the Employee Free Choice Act:

When I graduated from North Dakota State University in 1992, I decided to hone my childhood sewing skills and open up my own business, Ivory Leathers.

Same old song from Chamber of Commerce
It’s not surprising the leaders of North Dakota’s Chamber of Commerce would write a letter attacking the Employee Free Choice Act.

Stop lying about Free Choice Act
I can’t help but wonder which version of House Resolution 1409, titled the Employee Free Choice Act of 2009, the chambers of commerce have been reading. Their insistence that the EFCA “threatens the right to a secret ballot in union elections” is a lie.

Free Choice Act business-friendly
I’ve seen many letters to the editor, television commercials and e-mails with regard to the Employee Free Choice Act, both pro and con. These communications claim that the EFCA takes away the worker’s right to a secret ballot when forming a union. Some of the e-mails I’ve received claim that passage of the EFCA gives unions access to organize employees of small businesses, which in turn threatens the backbone of business in America.

Amerman: You got to love comedy
You know I’m a big fan of comedy. I love good stand-up comedy, a good comedy sitcom or a funny movie.

MacIver lies about labor act
Shame on Dave MacIver for his dishonest column in May 10’s Forum. MacIver and the Chamber of Commerce have long opposed unions, and MacIver is wrong about the Employee Free Choice Act.

Workers’rights threatened by Employee Free Choice Act
Congress is considering legislation known as the Employee Free Choice Act. While few people have heard of this bill, it is the most sweeping rewrite of federal labor law in 70 years.

Sand parrots line of big business
I take issue with Duane Sand’s Sunday, April 26, column on the Employee Free Choice Act.

Private ballot lost under act
In a recent letter by Tom Magin of Fargo, he indicated that the Employee Free Choice Act would not deny a worker his or her right to a private-ballot vote.

Workers need the free choice act
I would bet that those who have written in with false information about the Employee Free Choice Act have never been involved in an election to join a union, as I have three times.

Get facts straight about labor act
It is time to get the facts straight on the Employee Free Choice Act.
The aptly named act does not eliminate the worker’s right to a secret ballot in a union election. Under current law, the secret ballot or majority sign-up may be used when forming a union. What is new is this: Workers, not corporations, will now be able to decide which process they want to use to form their union.

Free choice act erodes free choice
Much has been said and written about the Employee Free Choice Act making its way through Congress. To cut through the rhetoric and propaganda from both sides, it is necessary to first review how the systems for unionizing operate now and compare that to what the proposed changes actually mean to businesses and, more importantly, workers.
