Does Dennis Kucinich support the right and current freedom of a worker to have a private vote when it comes to voting if a company should be unionized?

Or, does he support the union demand that workers shouldn't have the right to a free vote?

Will Dennis Kucinich go on record and promise he will not support any tax increases?

I do not know Kucinich's stand on the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA).

I do know that BIG money has come out to attack unions and frequently use EFCA to state that employees are going to be coerced into starting a union. Since unions neither hire or fire, that argument doesn't make sense to me.

Having worked as both an "at will" employee and with a union, I can tell you that my experience says that EMPLOYERS are not democratic, and definitely do NOT respect one's privacy - of vote or anything else. With a union, I had/have some protection from some employment abuses.

I don't know if EFCA is an answer or not to the issue of EMPLOYER coercion to keep workers from even thinking about unionizing.
