Hasner questions Dems secret ballot

by Michael C. Bender | March 4th, 2009

Renewing his campaign to protect secret ballots in union votes, House Republican Leader Adam Hasner of Boca Raton today accused his Democratic counterparts of hypocrisy on the issue.

hasner-mug09Democrats largely oppose the change, but Hasner points out the House Democratic caucus on Tuesday held a secret ballot election to pick their leader for 2010-11.

“House Democrats picked their leader in the workplace by secret ballot; now let’s see if House Democrats will allow Floridians in every workplace the same secret ballot right,” Hasner said in a press release from the Republican Party of Florida today.

“Otherwise, House Democrats will once again be saying through their actions: do as we say, not as we do.”

    Is there a reason why you aren’t also taking this opportunity to note that EFCA preserves workers’ rights to secret balloting?

    Adam Hasner is a little toad. A little man with a Napoleon complex. He ought to be worried about how the state will get out of the hole we’re in. Not corporations foaming at the mouth about unionizing.

    Get your priorities straight Toady-Boy!
