Is EFCA Actually A Zombie?

by | Jul 9, 2010 | Employee Free Choice Act

The Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) is like one of those zombies you just can’t kill. The Wall Street Journal blog repeats Tom Harkin’s threat to pass EFCA during a lame duck session after the November elections. The article predict that if a large number of Democrat Senators and Representatives are relieved of duty this November that we may see the passage of EFCA, cap and trade and other so-called “progressive” legislation passed during the lame duck session. Recently Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin, chair of the Senate committee overseeing labor issues, told the Bill Press radio show in June that “to those who think [card check] is dead, I say think again.” Top Union Leaders will be looking for payback for their political contributions over the past several elections. Rep. Tom Price probably said it best: “Members of Congress are supposed to represent their constituents, not override them like sore losers in a lame-duck session.” Or as zombies sometimes say: “more brains.”
