EFCA Introduced

Well,

This week the Employee Free Choice Act was passed through committee and on to the full House for deliberation and hearings. Here's a fairly comprehensive article about it.

Opposition from business groups and their buddies in Congress will be fierce, no doubt. Already last year the Center for Union Facts began a "grassroots" campaign against the reform, including taking out full page ads in major newspapers comparing union leaders to Kim Il Sung and Joseph Stalin. Nice.

The hearings should be exciting, and a great opportunity to highlight the authoritarian nature of the modern American workplace.
