On March 10, the "so-called" Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) was introduced in both the House and the Senate. EFCA would take away a worker's right to a federally supervised private ballot election when deciding whether or not to select union representation.
AGC supports the status quo, which allows both card-check recognition and secret-ballot elections to establish union representation and remains the most fair and reliable way to determine the desire of employees to be represented by a union.

EFCA imposes unrealistically short deadlines for labor-management negotiations over a first contract before mandating third-party interference. It allows a third party to dictate wages, hours, and terms and conditions of employment. For more about EFCA, visit AGC's EFCA webpage.
