Was EFCA Enacted Under Our Noses?

by Phillip Wilson | Apr 16, 2010 | Employee Free Choice Act

As we have warned for months, most provisions of the Employee Free Choice Act can be enacted administratively, without passing the actual law. Here’s a great example. This week the NLRB reached a settlement with – ironically – the Cesar Chavez charter school in DC. Among the provisions of the settlement is the payment of treble damages to the alleged discriminatee. Sounds a lot like EFCA, huh? Stay on the lookout for more decisions like these – they won’t get the same kind of press coverage a massive legislative fight will get, but the impact on American businesses is exactly the same.
