The deceptively-named Employee Free Choice Act should really be called the Employee Forced Choice Act. Every day workers across the country are intimidated into joining a union, and passing EFCA would make that must more common.
Rachel Maddow explains WHAT the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) actually does say about Secret Elections -- that they are NOT prohibited by the New Bill, even though you will hear otherwise in massive Negative Ad campaign against EFCA. As she explains, unlike the GOP interests making their last stand against the American Worker here -- Rachel has actually READ the Bill -- if workers want it, they still can have a Secret Election. The only difference is that the Choice will now be up to the Workers -- NOT up to the Employer! (if the EFCA Bill is passed) Rachel Maddow then interviews Andy Stern, president of the SEIU (Service Employees International Union) about the real intimidation forces at work, when employees currently attempt to start their own Union. Currently without EFCA about a third of all efforts to form Unions, results in firings of some of those trying to bring Democracy to the Workplace. Andy Stern agrees, any intimidation efforts, either by Management or Labor, should face the full weight of the current Labor Law, which prevents both. Intimidation is not tolerable -- and must be brought before the National Labor Relations Board -- even Management Intimidation, which is far more common now.

Keith reports on the intimidation of employees that was going on at Wal-Mart and their opposition to the Employee Free Choice Act. Chris Hayes from the Nation talks to Keith about why the company's actions prove exactly why the Employee Free Choice Act is needed since it keeps employers from being allowed to intimidate employees and force them to watch anti-union propoganda if they want to join a union and how the DOL has turned into an establishment bent on busting unions rather than protecting workers.

Organized labor recently rallied on Capitol Hill in support of card-check legislation that would effectively end secret ballot elections for workers. At the rally, at least one worker claimed that 90% of his colleagues signed cards supporting a unionization election, but it turns out that when workers cast their secret ballots, the pro-union forces only won by two votes. Organized labor claims that secret-ballot elections lead to intimidation by employers, but if 90% of workers signed cards when confronted by union organizers in dark parking lots or in vacant break rooms and then only a very slim majority actually voted to unionize when those union operatives couldn't see their votes, doesn't that prove that union intimidation is much worse than employer intimidation? After all, employers already knew who signed those cards. We asked that simple question to two union officials at the rally, including AFL-CIO President John Sweeney. Not surprisingly, neither really answered the question.

On September 9th, 2009, RNs from CNA/NNOC and from across the country, all part of the National Nurses Movement, delivered roses to Senator Dianne Feinstein, calling on her to co-sponsor and support the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA).

New developments on a story NewsWest 9 first told you about last June: The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission issued a determination on a complaint filed by a former CPS employee who found a hangman's noose in an office back in December 2007. The former CPS employee filed a discrimination grievance back in the Summer of 2007 with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. In December of 2007, she complained after she found the hangman's noose on a doll inside the office. The employee who spoke on a condition of anonymity said the supervisors did not remove the doll when she complained and felt the placement of the doll was used as retaliation based on harassment and intimidation. Teresa Tena-Anchondo, Area Director for the El Paso Area Office of the US EEOC said in the determination letter, "The information gathered in the investigation is sufficient to show that [TX Dept. of Family and Protective Services] allowed a hangman's noose to be displayed in the work place, even after Charging Party complained of being offended by it, in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended." The EEOC did not address the former employee's charge that the noose was used as a form of retaliation, which is a violation of federal law. "I am not privy to all of the investigative reports or the evidence that was presented to the federal government," Gene Collins, President of the Odessa Branch of the NAACP, said.

its a duck PLEASE READ!!! ecoworld.com excerpt ... Obamas position on unions is relevant. In an October 27th Wall Street Journal editorial entitled The Election Choice: Unions they state Obama is a co-sponsor of the Employee Free Choice Act, a pro-union piece of legislation that would do the following: - Force employees to vote pro or against unionizing on an open ballot, meaning any employee who objected to being unionized would be publically identified and open to intimidation. - Impose mandatory arbitration, meaning after 120 days if a company wouldnt agree to union demands, an arbitrators decision would be final. - Narrow the definition of a manager in order to put a higher percentage of a companys employees under union control. - Make it illegal for a company to hire new employees to replace striking employees. Obama also supports the sinister Public Safety Employer-Employee Cooperation Act which will require every city over 5000 in population to negotiate police and firefighter compensation with a national union. For a good look at what that leads to, examine pretty much any city in California - they are all facing insolvency due to the cost of paying their unionized workforces. Because it is common for these folks - before you factor in the real cost of funding their early and generous pension - to make over $100000 per year, and many of them make over $200000 per year. This is simply too much money for these positions - and we can make this assertion and still <b>...</b>

Workers at the Holiday Inn Express Latham requested Local 471 Workers United's assistance with bringing a union to the hotel. Within a 24 hour period of the hotels management learning of the employee organizing efforts, the Holiday Inn Express fired half of the organizing committee. Retaliatory firings are unlawful under federal labor law, yet the law does not adequately protect workers' rights to organize free of employer intimidation. Thats why we need to pass Employee Free Choice Act to provide real penalties against employer who break the law. The firings have left the three terminated employees with no income, and they're having trouble making their healthcare payments. Please consider making a donation to help these workers by sending checks to: Capital District Area Labor Federation (CDALF) Attn: Workers United 302 Center Dr. Albany, NY 12203 Checks payable to: SEFCU Please note on the memo line: "For Holiday Inn Express Fired 3"

Rachel Maddow explains that the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) actually offers a second path to Unionizing, 1) either Secret Ballot or 2) just signing a Card. The advantage of the 2nd path is that Management DOES NOT get tipped off ahead of time, and does not get weeks to "scare" employees about the "dangers of joining Unions." An episode of The Office is used to illustrate -- just how Management will typically "taint"those "Secret Ballot Election". The Message "Vote for the Union -- and Lose your Job!" So much for "Free Elections". Rachel then describes a shady industry known as "Union Busting", who hire out like a posse -- who Management relies on to do the real Intimidation dirty work, so that Union formation rarely has a "fair" chance. The current system insures they have several weeks to do their dirty work before the "Secret Ballot" Election finally happens. A reformed Union Buster Martin Levitt, describes his previous career, and how Busters will use any measures, to prevent Union Elections from succeeding. He describes the Union Busting Industry as "having more than 10000 practitioners": www.youtube.com Here's the the Union Busting playbooks: www.buwcouncil.org www.inthesetimes.com

On February 19, 2009, scholars, community leaders and workers from throughout California joined in solidarity for press conferences in four cities in the state. The press events discussed a study released that day by the Center for American Progress (CAP) linking unions to positive impacts on the economy. According to the study, the Employee Free Choice Act holds the promise of boosting unionization rates and improving the economic standing and workplace conditions for millions of American workers. In this video from the Sacramento press conference, Frank Garcia, an employee at Blue Diamond Almond Growers speaks of the intimidation and threats he and fellow workers faced during a recent organizing campaign with ILWU. His experience with the current corporate controlled organizing process is very common and highlights the importance of the Employee Free Choice Act Press conferences were coordinated by SEIUs Change That Works campaign.

On April 30, 2009, former House Majority Leader Newt Gingrich discussed the Employee Free Choice Act on CSPAN's Washington Journal. Attempting to show that "card check" would lead to increased intimidation by unions, Gingrich cited cases when a majority of workers have signed cards and then voted against unionization. However, Gingrich's assessment is wrong: the Employee Free Choice Act protects workers from intimidation by employers that can significantly influence the outcome of union elections.
