Here is a link to the actual Senate version of a bill that will end secret ballots for groups that want to organize a union. Under the link you I have copied the co-sponsors of the bill and highlighted Mr. Obama.
Notice the language of the Sec. 2. if a majority of workers in a business sign a card stating they want a Union, then there will be no election (as there is now), where the workers get to vote in secret.
This will allow unions that we all know are corrupt and rife with organized crime to intimidate people into voting for unionization.
"All for the union stand in that line, everyone against go over there so we can break your leg!"
Somebody that likes Obama, please explain how you can support him given these facts?????
