Anti-union intimidation is real

Sara Slinn, Financial Post Published: Friday, December 07, 2007




The strength of the card procedure is that, because it happens so quickly, it provides less opportunity for employer interference and coercion of employees than does the vote procedure. Votes provide a period of several days, between the cards being submitted and the election, for employers to try to discourage employees from voting for the union. This is a near-irresistible opportunity for employers, which invites interference.
