"This week, the CEOs of Costco, Whole Foods, and Starbucks plan to throw you and their employees "under the bus" to appease Big Labor, offering a so-called "compromise version" of Big Labor's top legislative priority: the "Card Check" Forced Unionism Bill.
It's vital you act right now to help fight back against their scheme -- which will leave workers vulnerable to union-boss intimidation and make you pay the price in higher costs.
With our economy already blasted with recession and nearly constant political agitation, attempts to "compromise" over forced unionism really could push our economy over the brink.
Let me explain.
Thanks to the 2.2 million members of National Right to Work Committee and a growing wave of other allies in this fight, I believe we are in a position to defeat the ugly forced-unionism power grab known as "Card Check" in the U.S. Senate.
But these three corporations -- working with former Bill Clinton top advisor Lanny Davis -- are now trying to broker a back-room deal that is harmful, and would result in more workers being corralled into forced unionism and under the thumb of the union bosses.
In fact, their scheme is no doubt a preemptive surrender to Big Labor.
And even worse, these foolish and destructive actions could end up helping pass the "Card Check" Forced Unionism Bill outright.
That's why it's vital you sign this petition to the CEOs of these three misguided companies -- TODAY. I'll make sure it is delivered directly to their office and that the press knows.
As you know, the "Card Check" Forced Unionism Bill denies workers a secret ballot when voting on whether or not they want to be part of a union. A firestorm of union intimidation would rain down upon literally millions of employees who would be shoved into union collectives and forced to pay union dues.
If passed, the Card Check Forced Unionism bill would vastly increase the forced-dues-funded power of the far left Big Labor bosses.
And giving union officials more coercive power over American workplaces and the economy is a prescription for economic disaster, just as it was near the beginning of the Great Depression. The inevitable results are skyrocketing unemployment, businesses destroyed, inflation, and worse.
But ending secret ballots is just the beginning of the evils of this legislation. Once workers are bullied into union ranks without even a secret ballot, union officials would make outrageous demands and -- a mere 90 days later -- Obama Administration bureaucrats will be empowered to step in and "solve the problem," ultimately imposing the terms and conditions of employment on the workers and companies.
With all that's at stake, it is inexcusable for these three large companies to try to placate the union bosses and sell out hundreds of thousands of smaller ones, to say nothing of the millions of workers that would be affected.
That's why it's extremely important that you tell Costco, Whole Foods, and Starbucks to scrap their disastrous plans to propose a "compromise" bill. There can be no compromise whatsoever on forced unionism.
Please sign this petition to send a message to Costco, Whole Foods, and Starbucks that YOU MEAN BUSINESS -- and that they will pay a terrible price for EVEN THINKING of caving in to the union bosses. Starbucks should be especially sensitive -- as this struggling company closes stores left and right and is already discredited in many eyes for mixing politics with its coffee."
