Current IssuesThe Employee Free Choice Act (H.R. 1409/S. 560), commonly known as “card check,” would limit an employee’s right to a secret ballot when voting whether or not to join a union. Card check allows for a union to organize if 50 percent plus one employee sign cards indicating interest in joining a union. Unfortunately, the card check system often leads to coercion and intimidation from union organizers and coworkers who support unionization. Young or inexperienced workers could be particularly exposed to these pressures. Read more or Take Action Now! For the past decade, IAAPA has educated Members of Congress on the safety record of the attractions industry and how federal oversight would not improve our outstanding record while costing the taxpayers millions of dollars. At the same time, IAAPA has helped members work in their states to develop positive ride safety legislation and regulations that incorporate the ASTM F-24 standards.
