This article is dead on. The unions are claiming that their membership has been declining because companies intimidate workers to keep them from unionizing. But unions are just as guilty, if not more so, of intimidating workers to join unions. Then they give them no say in how their dues are spent.
Now the unions want to do away with the secret ballot. The secret ballot is a hallmark of American elections, at all levels. To take it away opens the door for more union intimidation of workers who may be threatened if they don't vote for the union.
