The USA Today hates the Employee Free Choice Act
"When you deny rights to workers, only union members will have labor rights." -me
Organized labor has a lot of flaws. Our Government is chock full of union members and the rest of America has to pay for the benefits that a strong group was able to negotiate. However, that is no reason to give up on the concept of labor rights.
The Employee Free Choice Act is for disorganized labor. Sure big unions support it, but who would need to join a big union if labor law was respected by corporate America. Any group of employees could set up a Facebook group and start organizing. Why would you want to pay huge overhead of the AFL-CIO if you can outsource their tasks to any competent lawyer?
Is "card check" necessary? Its been an option for organizing employees since the passage of the Labor Management Relations Act in 1936. Organizing without secret ballots is a right thats older than John McCain!
