The secret ballot is central to democracy.
So why do unions want to take it away?
The Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), commonly known as “card check,” represents the most sweeping proposed change in labor law since passage of the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947. It will dramatically change the union organizing process — and, in turn, has the potential to disrupt operations at both union and non-union manufacturing operations alike.
In these tough economic times, it’s imperative that all employees of a company work together toward common goals. Card check threatens the ability to do so by imposing conditions that will undermine positive, collaborative relationships between employees and their employers, and also potentially pit employees against each other.
MMA President and CEO, Chuck Hadden, discusses the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) with the Grand Rapids Business Review. An accompanying online poll shows strong opposition to the proposed EFCA legislation.
