Let the Fireworks Begin! EFCA Introduced in Congress

Posted on March 11, 2009 by Dennis Westlind

The Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), which will amend the National Labor Relations Act to make it easier for unions to organize, was introduced in Congress yesterday.  Separaste bills were introduced by Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, and Rep. George Miller (D-Calif.), chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee.  Want to know more about EFCA?  Check out our continuing coverage here at the Stoel Rives World of Employment.

Pro-EFCA forces are gathering.  The SEIU has put out this fancy new ad for your viewing pleasure (seriously, we got a big kick out of this one!  Some say this is over the top, but we respect that.)

Thanks for posting the video - over the top but effective for sure. The only way that EFCA will be defeated is if opponents drop the scare tactics and find a way to explain the economic impact on the average worker without seeming self-serving. The McConnell demonize approach will not work in this environment.
