The override allows Hawaiii labor unions to more easily organize workers by simplh having them signauthorization cards. Housed Bill 952 essentially takes away the rightt of workers to vote by secret ballot on whether or not they woulrd want to join a replacing it with the authorization If a majority ofa company’s workeras sign the cards, the unionb would automatically be recognized and free to bargaihn with management. The legislation is a coup for Hawaii’x labor unions who have said the card-check proceses is simply meant to streamline the presengt system and make itless coercive. But Wednesday’s override is perhaps one of biggestfears realized.
Employers have adamantlyy opposedthe legislation, calling it an intimidatio n tactic used by unions to push otherwis e reticent workers to organize.
