问题     The House is expected to pass a piece of legislation Thursday
that seeks to significantly rebalance the playing field for unions and
employers and could possibly reverse decades of declining
membership among private industries.
    The Employee Free Choice Act would allow the union to【S1】______
be recognized after collecting a majority of vote cards, instead【S2】______
waiting for the National Labor Relations Board to oversee a
secret ballot election, that can occur more than 50 days after【S3】______
the card vote completed.【S4】______
    Representatives of business on Capitol Hill oppose the bill.
They oppose the shift away from secret ballots said the change could【S5】______
threaten the privacy of the workers. " This isn’t about preventing
increased unionization, it’s about protecting rights," said the
National Association of Manufacturer’s Jason Straczewski, of his
organization’s opposition against bill. Straczewski says eliminating【S6】______
the secret-ballot step would open up to employees to coercion from【S7】______
unions.
    Samuel of the AFL-CIO contends the real coercion comes from
employers. " Workers talking to workers are equals, because【S8】______
managers talking to workers aren’t," Samuel said. He cites the
31,358 cases of illegal employer discrimination acting on by the【S9】______
National Labor Relations Board in 2005.
    Samuel also points out that counter to claims from the business
lobby; the secret ballot would not be eliminated. The change would
only take the control of the timing of the election out of the hands of
the employers. " On the ground, the difference between having this
legislation or not would be the difference between night and day,"【S10】______
said Richard Shaw of the Harris County Central Labor Council, who
says it would have a tremendous impact on the local level. [br] 【S1】
选项
答案 the—a
解析 冠词误用。此处的union不是特指，而是泛指，因此应该使用不定冠词a。
