U.S. Chamber's New EFCA Ad: "Meet Bill"

Yesterday, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce unveiled a new ad on its ChamberPost blog, "Meet Bill." Who is Bill? According to the Chamber, he's a union organizer -- apparently, one of the "bad actor" variety which makes EFCA so disconcerting to individual employees. As per the Chamber:



In two weeks, millions of Americans will enter the privacy of a voting booth and cast their ballots. You know who won't be in there with them? This guy:




The Chamber this morning also points out the interesting irony that the ad seems to have been widely viewed via YouTube in Mexico. The post then links to the infamous letter -- also previously noted here -- by EFCA sponsor Rep. George Miller (D-CA) insisting to Mexican government officials that the secret ballot be protected in union elections:



"...we feel that the secret ballot is absolutely necessary in order to insure that workers are not intimidated into voting for a union they might not otherwise choose."
