a system in which an employer is required to recognize a union if a majority of workers sign a membership card, making it easier for workers to organize a union
Many employers don't want to pay their workers a fair wage so they will use threats, intimidation etc. to block efforts to organize a union. A card check system helps workers overcome these obstacles.

President Reagan shifted the tax burden from the wealthy to the middle class, while dramatically increasing spending mostly for the military.

Reagan should also be remembered for the Iran-Contra scandal.
