That's what we're looking at with an Obama presidency.
Once BO is inaugarated, one of the first orders of business of the new administration and congress is going to be passage of the "Employee Free Choice Act". This means democratic, secret ballot votes on whether or not a workplace goes union or not will be done away with and instead union organizers will be able to claim they represent a workforce at any given plant/workplace by simply getting a majority of signatures from workers--in other words, you as a worker lose confidentiality and secrecy and you could be potentially harassed until you agree to sign up. If you are a hourly paid worker, like I am, and don't feel like you need a union representing you with your employer, I encourage you to get educated on this subject if you are not already. One resource I found is this website
