This is the bill I'm most looking forward to if the Democrats gain a filibuster-proof majority. The bill does a lot more than just establish the card check as a legal and sufficient method for establishing a union. It also severely increases the penalties (they're pitiful now) against employers who fire, discriminate against, or threaten workers who try to organize. It even allows for temporary restraining orders in some cases. It will finally give us Southern workers a chance to organize if we so choose without fear of reprisals from our employers.
