Tennessee Senate

Protects Workers’ Freedom

The Senate has reaffi rmed

their commitment to protect

workers’ freedom by passing

legislation to prevent coercion

in union-organizing elections

and secure workers’ rights to

secret ballot union elections.

When a workplace decides to

vote on unionizing, it is often

done in an open election with

workers’ choices made public

to union organizers. Due to the

lack of privacy of the vote, many

workers are subjected to a public

pressure campaign by union

offi cials seeking to unionize

the workplace. That process is

called card check.
