I would like to vote for cloture to allow this bill to be debated because I. frankly. think it would be defeated were that to be the case. and I would strongly oppose it. However. I will oppose cloture. not because I wouldnt like to have a debate on the bill but because I want to get to the next item of business before us. which is the immigration bill. which I hope we can complete before July 4. As to the Employee Free Choice Act. as I think it is rather deceptively titled. it would remove the requirement that elections of union representation and leadership be conducted by secret ballot. The secret ballot. of course. is the ultimate protection for workers because it guarantees anonymity for every worker and protects workers from being submitted to coercion.
