As I noted in my presentation, the fundamental right we believe employees should have is the right to choose their union representation. Not unlike most decisions that are made in that context, these votes in the democratic system are done secretly where an individual has an opportunity to vote his or her conscience.
I don't believe there is a motivation among FETCO member companies to diminish the labour movement or to reduce the number of unions, but we do believe there should be an option at the front end for employees to have the right to vote their conscience secretly.
