Scorecard: Club For Growth 2007 Senate Scorecard

Org. position: {{{Vote position 1}}}

Description:

"Vote on a bill that would allow unions to bypass secret ballot elections if a majority of eligible employees consent. The pro-growth vote is "nay" because secret ballots are a cornerstone of democracy that needs to be fervently protected. If secret ballots are removed, unions can intimidate employees into voting against their self-interest. Failed 51-48 (Sixty votes needed)."
