A proposal being pushed at the federal level by organized labor is both starkly anti-business and anti-worker. Deceptively given the name the Employee Free Choice Act by big labor, "union card check" merely seeks to increase union coffers at the expense of workers and employers.

As originally written, the initiative, the most significant rewrite of labor laws in more than 50 years, would effectively abolish the current private ballot union certification process and replace it with a simple "card check," where employees could be pressured, coerced and intimidated to simply "check the box" to form a union. Proposed 'compromise' legislation calls for expedited elections and job-killing binding arbitration.
