23. I guess I am misunderstood.
The only sticking point for EFCA seems to be the 51% card check = union portion.

I find it hard to believe the a secret ballot is not possible. Sure my employer has a strong belief about knows my political positions but the vote itself is still a secret. They may think they know how I will/did vote but they will never know for sure.

I wouldn't want to sign a cardcheck simple because if it fails they certainly know where I stand.

Misguided as it is many Americans still believe the the secret ballot. The idea of a non secret ballot where views are solicited out in the open tends to rub them the wrong way. Maybe it is stupid however if my workplace was unionizing I would want a secret ballot.

I would not want to feel pressured to sign a card check. I mean if someone asks me to sign and I say "no" I seriously doubt they will leave it at that. Likely next question is why not.

I wouldn't want to have to explain my vote in Presidential election. I shouldn't have to explain my vote to anyone ever.
