My understanding of the Employee Free Choice Act

Posted by Mop (aka rburriel) Jan 22 '09, 13:54

Please, feel free to correct my ignorance:

Right now, to get a union, you must first publicly declare you want to vote on getting a union, then have a second, private vote.

With the Employee Free Choice Act, publicly declaring you want a union is all you need, in essence eliminating the secret ballot, but it eliminates potential employer intimidation after you've already declared your intention.

What Ender said. It looks like it shifts the opportunity for coercion from the employer to the union. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 22, 14:03 1
- Though I've read the wiki article on it about three times now, and still don't feel like I totally understand it. - Dr.Vermin Jan 22, 14:09
...allowing only the union intimidation before you've declared your intention. -- nm - Ender Jan 22, 14:00
