NFIB State Director Hunter Loggins today applauded the Georgia Senate for passing Senate Bill 362 and encouraged House members to vote “yes” on the measure when it comes up for a vote in the coming weeks.

“Senate Bill 362 is designed to stop organized labor from pressuring its way into small businesses and other workplaces,” Loggins said. “Union leaders want the power to force workers to say in front of their co-workers and union organizers whether they support the idea of joining the union. Union leaders know full well how intimidating and coercive that would be.

“The fact of the matter is that secret ballots are essential to our democracy,” Loggins said. “No one has a right to know how you vote. That’s why the Georgia House must protect our right to a secret ballot and vote ‘yes’ on Senate Bill 362. We need to keep things fair for both sides.”
