The committee is trying to sway Senators Jim Webb and Mark Warner NOT to support the bill.
As known as "Card Check", the group says the legislation would take away secret-ballot voting for Union members.
"What if the democratic and republican party came around a couple weeks before election time and said, 'sign this card for John McCain or sign this for Barack Obama, we don't need a secret election', people would go crazy," says Dennis Fusaro with the National Right to Work Committee.
Robert Hill, a president of a local union, says the legislation does NOT take away the secret ballot, but instead levels the playing field for American workers against their companies.
