Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) has come out swinging against the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA). The group has an entire Web page of resources devoted to the topic, including this example paycheck stuffer with language you could “borrow:”
Text:
- The so-called “employee Free Choice Act” or “card check” legislation would strip away the rights of workers to a federally supervised private ballot election when deciding whether or not to join a union.
- The “card check” system would allow union organizers to intimidate or coerce workers into signing authorization cards. There is no private ballot. There is no free choice.
- All workers deserve the fundamental American right to a federally supervised private ballot election. This right is guaranteed when voting in political elections; there is no reason why this right should be surrendered in the workplace.
I’m on the hunt for other examples of paycheck stuffers relevant for EFCA. Got one to share? Of particular interest is one for employees on the topic of their signature – it’s value, and why signing a union authorization card (“card check”) is an actual vote, not merely an expression of interest under the newly proposed EFCA legislation (i.e., represents a significant change in the law).
