The Spartanburg Herald-Journal editorializes in favor of the Republican Caucus' anti-"Card-Check" legislation.

From the editorial:

"Because federal protection of the secret ballot might disappear, a law was put before the S.C. Legislature protecting the rights of South Carolina workers to a secret ballot. The bill, which would amend the state constitution, moved forward Thursday in the Senate, but not before overcoming a filibuster against it. South Carolina can and should create such a protection. It makes a clear statement as to where the state stands while the issue is garnering so much national attention. That lets prospective employers all over the world know that South Carolina is a place where, while workers have the right to unionize, unions do not have the right to intimidate them into doing so.

If the proposal passes with a two-thirds vote in the Senate, S.C. voters would then get to say, on a secret ballot, whether workers deserve a secret ballot as well.

The irony, and the fact that no one has ever been able to explain how the secret ballot does anything but protect the rights of workers, will likely not be lost on them."
