Congress Is Currently Debating Passage Of A New Law Called EFCA, Known As "Card Check," Which Effectively Ends The Ability Of Employees To Hold Private Ballot Elections By Allowing Employees To More Easily Form A Union If Union Organizers Can Get A Majority Of Workers To Simply Sign Cards Saying They Want To Unionize. By Signing These Cards, Employees' Signatures Would Then Be Made Public.
