Employee Free Choice Act: Ready Or Not?

Employers are encouraged to monitor the status of the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), which is a proposed amendment to the federal labor law that governs employer-union relations at employers other than airlines and railroads. EFCA would eliminate secret ballot elections as the way for employees to decide whether to have union representation; this would be replaced with a "card check" procedure that would result in certification of the union if a majority of employees in an appropriate work group simply sign union cards. This would make it much easier for a union to become the collective bargaining representative of a group of employees at a company. In addition, EFCA would change significantly the process for negotiating a first contract. Changes would include mandatory government-run arbitration to establish the terms and conditions of employment in the initial contract if the parties cannot reach agreement during direct and mediated negotiations.

I can't see how anyone would see this as a good thing. |
