The Employee Free Choice Act INCLUDES the right to insist on a secret ballot election in addition to ADDING the right for the majority of workers to just sign cards or a petiton. The employer THEN MUST BARGAIN WITH THEM - settling the issue instantly.
The thought that employees could actually form a union WHENEVER THEY DECIDE TO sends fear through the hearts of most unfair employers. The result is a heavily financed campaign that could be titled "Complete Lies, Distortion, Stereotyping and Fear - or whatever works"
The EFCA will definitely kill off ONE extremely lucrative business, made for the same snakes that are now hissing the loudest against the law:

Sounds like some damage control going on. This was NOT the original intent.
Spin it any way you want. It is still called CARD CHECK which means, you SIGN A CARD. Nothing anonymous there.
yes, nothing has changed in regard to having an election if that is what the employees want - what has changed is if a majority sign the cards they can bypass waiting for an election - commonly referred to as _"the employer intimidation period".
So if there can still be an election - whats the beef?
Lets face it, big business is pulling out all of the stops. Contrary to what some here may believe - they will LIE to save themselves from having to treat their employees fairly.
The employers are not known for spending millions to help their employees and they are not doing it to "help" them now.
Only an idiot could not see that this is something that we need here in America - the greatest nation on earth should have no issue with their workers organizing to gain bargaining strength.
The corporate greed bunch sees it quite differently - of course.
