One of ABC's priority issues in 2008 is to prevent passage of legislation that robs employees of their right to a private ballot election when deciding upon unionization in the workplace. The right to a private ballot, a cornerstone of our democracy, guarantees workers protection from coercion and intimidation. ABC will oppose any efforts to undermine this through legislation such as the Employee Free Choice Act (HR 800/S 1041).
