Situation: There's a possibility the Employee Free Choice
Act (EFCA) could become law in early 2009. If
enacted, EFCA will allow employees to unionize
via a union card-signing process, rather than the more traditional
government-run secret ballot election, without their employer's
involvement. Further, the act will impose mandatory government-run
arbitration in first-contract negotiations if the company and the new
labor representative cannot reach agreement on a first contract within
120 days.
