Rick Berman Speaks at the CATS Roundtable Radio Show

Interview Highlights

Speaks about the Employee Rights Act, which says “we need to address the rights of union members to their unions. There is an imbalance here. The union leadership has too much power over union members. What Scott Walker did was not anti-union, it was pro-employee.

The Employee Rights Act contains 8 provisions giving employees more rights, including guaranteed secret ballots and the “ability to control their dues money that is being used for political purposes that they don’t agree with.”
