The proposed rules that purport to be "informative" to employees of federal contractors are unbalanced and unfairly provide an advantage to union organizations. In industries such as healthcare, unions will only INCREASE costs for the public, and they do nothing to improve patient care. Employees have rights to join unions, but they should equally be informed of their rights not to have to join a union. This is not the position the administration has taken in using declarations as "it is the policy of the United States to encourage collective bargaining". Employees know they can form unions, notices are already present - yet they choose not to. The proposed rules are slanted in every way toward union representation and do nothing to speak about how employees also have rights to not choose or to decertify unions - yet the rules say nothing about those rights. I believe these proposed rules are onerous and are slanted in a great degree to favor unions which should not be the position of this nation. If full disclosure is required, it should inform of all rights employees have, not just those that are favorable to the union.
