The National Review recently ran another article about the “stealth adoption” of EFCA. Union Leaders thought they had everything they could ever dream of when Democrats took control of the House, Senate and White House in 2008. With spending millions of dollars to help elect these politicians, union bosses thought it would be a small price to spend to gain everything they ever wanted on their agenda, but this hasn’t happened…..yet. The Union’s number one agenda item known as the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) has stalled in Congress due to the lack of support from voters who are overwhelmingly against the bill. But the article makes the point that organized labor is not giving up just yet on the legislation, they are hoping the NLRB will pass rules identical to that of EFCA. They quote Stewart Acuff who claims that President Obama’s appointment of Craig Becker to the powerful National Labor Relations Board suggests that “card-check legislation could be implemented administratively, without congressional authorization.”
