Today, the House Education and Labor Committee begins markup on the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), which has strong bipartisan backing in Congress. The EFCA would make it easier for workers to form a union. Under the current law, even when a majority of workers ask for union representation, their employers can force them to undergo an election process administered by the Bush administration’s anti-worker National Labor Relations Board.
