Blocking access to a secret ballot invites harassment, costs American jobs
WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell made the following statement on Tuesday regarding the effort to strip workers of their access to a secret ballot in union elections:
“The right to a secret ballot is one which has been protected in America for hundreds of years because we know the value of political expression without fear of coercion. The attempt by some Democrats to take away this fundamental right goes against the ideals of political freedom upon which our nation was founded.
“Not only will this legislation invite harassment and intimidation into the work place, it could also cost America even more jobs. At a time when we are trying to strengthen our economy and put people back to work, we should be making it easier – not harder – for jobs to expand. While we need to work together for the good of the economy, Senate Republicans will oppose any attempts which undermine our economic health and costs jobs.”
