South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson is really embracing his newfound stardom as Heckler-in-Chief.



So what's Wilson's latest outburst? Slamming the Employee Free Choice Act to a corporate group fighting the bill.

Here's what Wilson said:

I am opposed to the misnamed Employee Free Choice Act because it all but eliminates an employee's right to a secret ballot and would require the government to step in between an employer and their employees to impose binding arbitration. It would be a clear detriment to job creation and a roadblock to reform.

I believe this legislation is bad for employers and employees alike and should be put aside altogether.

I have heard from individuals in the Second Congressional District who believe we need to protect the rights of our employees and that includes the right to a secret ballot. They understand how this legislation would damage job creation and hurt an economic recovery.
