Employee Free Choice Act: Even Without Card Check, It’s Bad

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010 by Admin

An avid reader and friend of The Truth About EFCA points us to an alarming story…

A federal judge has ordered Illinois Central Railroad Co. to reinstate a conductor who spent 16 months in federal prison for embezzling union funds (United Transp. Union v. Illinois Central R.R. Co., N.D. Ill., No. 08 CV 4001, 3/16/10) …

Click through for the entire absurdity, Aside from being bothersome, why does it reach to the level of alarming? Simple: It shows how ridiculous an arbitrator’s decision can seem, and the so-called Employee Free Choice Act — even if stripped of the most notorious “card check” provision — carries language that would impose a government arbitrator into the labor-relations process. That spells trouble, and it’s yet another reason EFCA is the wrong track for America.

    Employee Free Choice Act: “Binding Arbitration, a Radical Shift” | thetruthaboutefca.com | The Truth About The Employee Free Choice Act & Card Check says:

    [...] Some think EFCA’s “card check” provision will be kicked to the curb, but the binding interest arbitration provision still violates basic common sense, as well as the intent of the National Labor Relations Act. The practical applications won’t be pretty, either. [...]
