Or those that are forced to be silent through political pressure and vulnerability.
I don't know what happened to my previous attempt to reply. If a very truncated msg shows up --- SORRY!
And, now to the intended reply.
After only a little more than a month in office, the Obama Administration is supporting a bill in the US Senate that would strip American workers of the right to a secret ballot in union elections via the falsely-named Employee Free Choice Act. Just one small step toward totalitarianism.
