Posts Tagged ‘Polls’

While doing some actual work I came across this poll performed by Gallup.  The title presents the findings quite clearly, “Majority Receptive to Law Making Union Organizing Easier.”  Well, there you have it.  A majority (narrow at best when considering error rates in polls) think organized labor is a good thing.  Yes, that makes sense.  Let’s make it easier for a group to dictate inflexible work rules and above market pay scales not tied to productive output.  Go America!

Oh well, I’m getting use to be in the minority. 

With a name such as “Employee Free Choice Act “, it could be surprising to some that the number in favor is not higher.  I mean, who could be AGAINST employee’s free choices?  Well, like much in this world these days, the intent is not always in sync with the words used.  In this case, the main goal of the union lobbyists is removing the secret ballot, allowing organizers to bully the employee ranks.  That sure sounds like freedom to choose to me, no?

What made me laugh a little was this graph:

Interesting how the more people closely following it (implying how much they know of it), the more they are against it.  Hmmm.

What does this say to you?  To me, it says that more people need to say “No Opinion” if they have no clue.  An uninformed opinion only dilutes the conversation and allows for some to take advantage of many.
