    As a longtime union member I support the efca. Please do not tell anyone that you are telling the truth about the efca. If you are employed in the U.S.A. and a union member you wouldn’t be saying that you are speaking the truth about the efca. Because you do not.
    I will use the power of my vote to remove anyone opposed to the efca. And I know my brothers and sisters will do the same.

    Scott,

    If you read the bill itself, in its entirety, then you have every right to question whether people are telling the truth.

    We have read it, many times, and with the analysis of many legal and policy minds.

    The EFCA will deny a secret ballot election any time a union organizer can convince, cajole, or coerce more than 50 percent of employees into signing cards — even though union officials have long acknowledged that a signed card is very different than a real vote.

    In addition, the EFCA will force an intrusive and impossible government-mandated arbitration system that will actually deny employees the right to vote on their own contract terms.

    That’s the truth — much of that can be found directly in the bill’s text itself.

    Until you read it, though, kindly refrain from calling other people liars.
