Convince Me, Fellows

How 'bout this for a compromise, folks? Instead of EITHER card check OR the present scenario, we allow for a much more open process. I.E., if a union wants to make headway at a certain plant or facility, those folks get the opportunity to debate the management folks. It can be a single debate or a series of debates over a set period of time. Workers will be encouraged (but not required) to attend these debates, ask questions if they wish to, and to decide for themselves. And then, yes, after this process takes place, a secret ballot ensues. Sound good? It sounds damn fair/acceptable to me. I mean, we really want to eliminate intimidation from both directions, right? RIGHT?
