Card Check Puts Government in Charge

The misnamed Employee Free Choice Act does more than take away workers' rights to vote in private. It also gives control of the workplace to government bureaucrats.

Government officials would write the collective bargaining agreements of most newly organized companies. The government would set not just wages and benefits but all business operations that significantly affect workers, such as promotion procedures, retirement plans, health benefits, subcontracting, mergers, work assignments, even the machines used to run a plant. Employers would lose the ability to pursue their business strategies, and workers would lose all say about their workplace for two years.

EFCA effectively constitutes a government takeover of America's workplaces.

This one is H.R. 1409

Wake up folks! They are working hard to distract us so we will not notice this stuff before they vote on it.

Just did it. Dick Durbin is my senator so that tells you how he will vote.

A BIG FAT YES to any power grab and which incidentally, will benefit him monetarily.

UNION YES!

Calling that bill "The Employee Free Choice Act" is absolutely Orwellian.

War is peace. Ignorance is strength. Freedom is slavery.

The Freedom of Choice Act is another.

yeah I have the choice to fund abortion and condone a 14 year old getting an abortion without parental notification.

Thanks a million! :rolleyes:

H.R. is a house resolution... Is this being voted on in the senate or in the house?

You are right. This one has been named the The Employee Free Choice Act and yep, it is supposed to voted on by the Senate tomorrow.

That's what I get for reading up on one thing while posting about another.;)
