    Fighting for the Union Label, by Abby Scher in 2009. "the nation’s largest lobby — has successfully painted card check as an anti-democratic measure that would nullify workers’ right to a secret ballot . . ."

    Misinformation Campaign But a coalition of conservative anti-union organizations including the National Right to Work Committee and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce — the nation’s largest lobby — has successfully painted card check as an anti-democratic measure that would nullify workers’ right to a secret ballot. Backing them up is PR impresario Richard Berman, famous for defending Big Tobacco, who set up misinformation mills with names like Center for Union Facts and Employee Freedom Action Committee. A U.S. Chamber of Commerce television ad charged, “Congress wants to strip away the secret ballot. The private vote is so important to our basic fundamental rights. A bureaucrat in Washington could never tell any private enterprise how to run their business. This is going to devastate medium-sized and small businesses.”

    The Post-Gazette has illegally and unilaterally imposed working conditions onto the Guild and today we need your help. By signing this quick and easy form, you can tell John Block and Allan Block that the Guild wants to return to the bargaining table.

    An update: We received a response from Gannett's legal rep, which we're publishing in full. Looks like they don't think "opposition" means what we think it means 🤔🥴 We've asked for clarification & added that we look forward to future mail-in elections.
