Disallowing card check preserves the secret ballot it does not prevent a vote to unionize. Why would unions need to know who voted against them...think on that one a bit. Thuggary perhaps?
Allowing or disallowing card checks isn't the issue at debate here but rather whether or not a state has a right to void federal law. If you want to start a thread about card check vs secret ballot, please feel free to start another thread.
One point however, thuggery is not the sole providence of unions.
Not in the Constitution and like I said, "overreach"
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
You Repubs bought yourselves a 5 to 4 Supreme Court and now want to undo hundreds of years of established law.

To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.
And when you finished with that wander over to;
The National Labor Relations Act 1935.
I know this is a lot to ask, but give it a try. With enough work you might figure it out.
You sure do come off acting like you know how the court will rule on this. Any particular reason you put yourself in such a precarious position?
NLRB's actions are a naked attempt to protect Big Labor's favorite organizing tool -- card check -- which also is a key component of the widely unpopular and job-killing Employee Free Choice Act. Under a card check scheme, rather than voting by secret ballot, workers are forced to "choose" whether or not to join the union by signing or not signing a card in front of a union organizer and co-workers that support the union. Courts have said federal law favors secret ballot elections, but permits card check where an employer and union agree to one.
Do I oppose the secret ballot... not in principle but neither do I oppose the right of workers to simply present documentation that the majority of workers wish to exercise their right to join together for the purposes of collective bargaining.
Now if you are a big advocate of secret elections then streamline the period between the presentation majority interest and the election, let's say 30 days instead allowing companies to delay such votes for period extending as much as 2 years during which all sorts of "thuggery" seem to take place.

That's exactly why.
Vote against the union and see if your tires aren't slit and your car key-striped to look like an Impressionist painting by Monet.

It's only law because unions used their money to bribe legislators for support.
