America's third largest party is warning Americans about a plan backed by liberal Democrats and Big Labor to scrap the right of workers to a secret ballot in union elections.
The Libertarian Party says the "card check" legislation would kill hundreds of thousands of jobs as the nation attempts to revive its economy.
"The right to vote by secret ballot is one of our most cherished institutions for a reason. It protects people from those who would use violence or intimidation to achieve their goals," said William Redpath, Libertarian National Committee Chair.
"The card check bill currently in Congress that strips workers of their basic voting rights in union organizing matters is far from dead, and it threatens not just workers’ rights and safety, but it threatens people’s jobs as well," said Redpath.
