Arizona, South Dakota To Be Sued Over Secret Union Elections Law 
-----------------------------------------------------------------



The National Labor Relations Board is preparing to sue the states of
Arizona and South Dakota over state laws that require workers to hold
secret ballot elections before a company can be unionized. The NLRB says
the state laws conflict with federal law that gives employers the option
to recognize a union if a majority of workers simply sign cards, a
process known as "card check."
