Multiple constituencies debate the merits of S.1925. The bill, referred to as the Employee Free Choice Act, amends the National Labor Relations Act to require the National Labor Relations Board to certify a bargaining representative without directing an election if a majority of the bargaining unit employees have authorized designation of the representative and there is no other individual or labor organization currently certified or recognized as the exclusive representative of any of the employees in the unit.
For a representative perspective of the arguments against the bill see The Economics Consequences of “Card-Check” Forced Unionism (National Institue For Labor Relations Research). For the arguments in favor of the bill see, Protecting Workers: Employee Free Choice Act (Moving Ideas- The Electronic Policy Network).
Unlikely to pass in a presidential election year, but interesting debate nonetheless.
