The Workforce Fairness Institute has a new poll — of union households in Nevada — with some interesting figures:

• 66 percent of union households oppose changing the bargaining process in unionization, which EFCA would do.
• 51 percent of union households oppose changing the way unions are formed, which EFCA would do.
• 77 percent of all voters, as well as 77 percent of union households oppose a government arbitrator having the final say in determining contract terms, which EFCA would do.

The drumbeat continues: “Support for healthcare and ‘card check’ legislation would weigh on Sen. Michael Bennet’s (D-Colo.) reelection chances, a new poll found Friday.”

That’s the word from The Hill’s Mike O’Brien, who continues:

The Colorado Democrat’s reelection prospects could hinge on two key issues, though: the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) and healthcare reform legislation.

When read a description of EFCA, 66 percent of Coloradans said they’d prefer a candidate who would vote against the union organizing bill, compared to 29 percent who said they would prefer a candidate who supports the ‘card check’ bill.

When read description of key components of the bill, the card check provision and the binding arbitration provision, almost 2/3rds of voters expressed disapproval in the poll, which was commissioned by the anti-EFCA Workforce Fairness Institute and conducted by Public Opinion Strategies.

This is just the latest example of voters clearly signaling their displeasure with EFCA. Virginia‘s gubernatorial victor was incontrovertible evidence, and this year we’ve heard similar tales from Kansas, Nevada, and now Colorado.

When will our elected leaders start listening? When they’re un-elected?

Interesting news out of our friends at the Workforce Fairness Institute, which has released a new poll examining attitudes of Nevadans about card check and the tragically misnamed Employee Free Choice Act. The poll is of sufficient interest to garner the attention of the Las Vegas Sun, which reports:

The poll showed 57 percent of respondents oppose changing the way unions are organized and 64 percent oppose allowing mandatory arbitration to settle organizational disputes between workers and managers, as is proposed under the bill.

The poll also showed more voters would be less likely to support political candidates who support such changes.

The second figure — the one showing opposition to allowing the government to impose labor contracts on small business — is important because it shows that even if card check were dropped from EFCA, the bill would still be disastrous and unpopular.

Nevadans — well, most of them — know that EFCA is the wrong way to go. Check out this video from the state’s own Sen. John Ensign on why he opposes the Employee Free Choice Act.
