Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's) About EFCA
What does EFCA stand for?
EFCA stands for the Employee Free Choice Act.
What is EFCA and why should I care about it?
The EFCA is federal legislation pending before Congress. In simple terms, it will make it much easier for workers to organize unions. Senator Barack Obama has said it will be one of the first pieces of legislation he will attempt to push into law if elected President.
So if we want our company to remain union free, this is a big deal?
Yes! If EFCA becomes law, the “rules of the game” will change dramatically, will change very quickly, and will strongly favor unions.
What should we do now?
We believe the best way to remain union free is to run an effective organization that excels at attracting, rewarding, and retaining competent, motivated employees.
