Card Check Legislation Introduced In Congress
Mar.11.2009
The Employee Free Choice Act, H.R. 1409 and S. 560, was introduced in both the House of Representatives and Senate yesterday, marking a new beginning of a longstanding effort by the labor movement to change the rules of engagement regarding union organizing and collective bargaining. While the EFCA is assured swift passage in the House of Representatives, it remains unclear whether Democrats will be able to muster the 60 votes required to prevent a Republican filibuster.
