New at Reason: Shikha Dalmia on the Dangers of the Employee Free Choice Act
With the
installation of Al Franken in the Senate and yet another change of
heart by Sen. Arlen Specter, Democrats might well have a
filibuster-proof majority to secure the top item on Big Labor's
wish list: The Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA). So far the act's
elimination of secret ballot elections for unionization has
garnered most of the critical attention. But as Reason Foundation
Senior Analyst Shikha Dalmia notes, EFCA contains another
controversial provision: compulsory arbitration. This would be no
less destructive to the rights of employers and workers, and the
economy as a whole. Exhibit A: Michigan.
