The Truth About EFCA and Secret Ballot Elections


The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has promised to spend $10 million opposing the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), the proposed federal law that would allow workers to form unions based on a showing of majority support, sometimes referred to as a “card check” election.

1. Even Adam Smith regarded labor as Capitol, so Labor deserves the same tools to
protect its Capitol, labor, as business has to protect its Capitol.

It should come as no surprise that those who have stacked the deck would seek to perpetuate their advantage by denying an equal playing field for both sides, even to the point of supporting their opposition to EFCA with a case, Wurtland Nursing, that is the opposite of their current position.
