There is a bill pending in Congress called the Employee Free Choice Act. As with "Change we can believe in," "Universal health care," and other nice sounding things touted by the Obama administration, the Employee Free Choice Act is not what it seems.
Take this one provision: Under the EFCA, workers will lose their right to a private ballot, which means they could be required to vote in the presence of a paid union representative. They also face the risk of threat or coercion if they're opposed to or undecided about union participation.
Doesn't sound much like free choice to me. But Obama has said, "We will pass the Employee Free Choice Act."
