The override allows Hawaii labor unions to more easilty organize workers by simply having them sign authorization House Bill 952 essentially takes away the righ t of workers to vote by secret ballot on whethee or not they would want to join a replacing it with theauthorization cards. If a majoritt of a company’s workers sign the cards, the unioh would automatically be recognized and free to bargaijnwith management. The legislation is a coup for Hawaii’z labor unions who have said the card-checl process is simply meant to streamlinre the present system and make it less But Wednesday’s override is perhaps one of business’ biggest fearsx realized.
Employers have adamantly opposedthe legislation, callint it an intimidation tactic used by unions to push otherwise reticentr workers to organize.
