We, the under sign do strongly oppose the American Worker's Rights as
being presented at the Brevard County Commission.
This resolution contains several falsehoods about the Employee's Free
Choice Act(EFCA).
1. The ECFA contains provisions removing the secret ballot; Under the
ECFA the employees have the choice of a election or card check.
2. The ECFA would force workers to pay union dues; under the
Constitution of Florida, no worker can be forced to join a union. Florida
is a "right to work state"
3. The ECFA would submit workers to a union promotion system based on
seniority rather than merit; Promotion agreements are a function of the
contract that is agreed to by workers and the employer
4. The ECFA subjects the employer to a federal arbitrator with no vote
from the workers; If there is no contract what can the workers vote on?
This provision is to force both parties to make an honest attempt at a
speedy contract agreement, so the worker could vote on the contract.
Therefore we call upon the Commissioners of Brevard County Florida to
reject this dishonest anti-worker Resolution

    • The lack of respect for unions is evident in this resolution. A simple matter of a few minutes research would reveal the misrepresentations and falsehoods. You are my county commissioners and I , as a union member, should not be belittled falsely by you. How about having some time alloted for both sides to present their cases to you so that you can be properly informed?

    • Labor unions and FDR saved the US from communism. Strong unions today are just important to calm civil unrest that may be an offshoot of mindless deregulation and greed in corporations.

    • Dear Mrs. Bolin: Your political ploy is just like our new congressman Mr. Posey's recent legislation on birth certificates for Presidential candidates. It is a waste of tax payers time and money. Take off your tin foil hat and stop kissing up to your right wing nut base and get to work on county problems for all of us.

    • This appears to be an attempt, through either ignorance or chicanery, to misrepresent the meaning of the Employees Free Choice Act.

    • I strongly oppose Commissioner Mary Bolin's actions to try to prevent the Employee Free Choice Act . With the economy in a free fall, surely she has more urgent local matters to contend with. The American Dream should be within reach of working people to be able to have the freedom to bargain for secure jobs, health care and retirement benefits and fair pay.
