ABC Leader: “Specter’s switch could force businesses to close”

Monday, October 12th, 2009 by Admin

Be sure not to miss Associated Builders and Contractors national chairman Jerry Gorski’s article from this weekend on the Employee Free Choice Act and Sen. Arlen Specter.

Gorski’s conclusion:

EFCA could cost up to 600,000 American jobs in the first year alone with millions more job losses to come, according to a study by Anne Layne-Farrar, an economist from the nonpartisan firm LECG consulting.

In light of this study, many Pennsylvania businesses would likely close their doors and workers would be unemployed if EFCA became law.

That is unacceptable.

With many businesses in the state already struggling in this economy, I don’t understand how Specter can justify his surprising reversal on this reckless legislation.

He needs to answer to Pennsylvania workers and businesses that stand to lose if this bill becomes law.
