The Employee Free Choice Act aka Card Check? F Do you know that this is a very BIG deal. Couple background items: today, if cards are signed and presented to companies can accept them or have those interested go to NLRB and file a petition. Then there is a period of time, determined by the NLRB for the unions and companies to communicate to the employees (under specific rules), and then here is a secret election conducted by the NLRB. If the "yes" votes win, there is a requirement to shave good faith bargaining. Just 2 of the items that would change with the EFCA: 1) no secret ballot. If cards are collected-you have a union. No communication period, no opportunity for employees to sign a card, learn more and then secretly vote without duress. Another big issue is the mandatory binding arbitration. The EFCA says the federal government step in and determines the contract. Feds determine the deal for biz and employees. No voting on the contract.
