      The obsession on this one point by the neocon media, that effects very few of their over 70 year old audience, is nothing more than an out and out attack on the American worker, the most god-fearing great capitalist fodder ever invented. Traitors. <sarcasm>

      Wow. This video made me read up on it, because since every media outlet is saying secret ballot is required, I believed it. Turns out it's not required, but employers can require it, and they always do because it's one more step that must be taken, and makes it easier to bust the union. Thanks MM.
