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.)
