Employees would have the choice between majority sign up and a ballot election. Doesn't sound to me like anything is being taken away, in fact it sounds like its giving employees more freedom and protection in the workplace. I wonder why businesses would be afraid of that...

Card check already exists, just corporations don't want to recognize it. The secret ballot is not a secret as long as corporations make the decision to have a ballot election. Let the workers decide how to form a union, not businesses. That is the current law… let businesses determine if a union happens or not.
