A year ago the University of New Hampshire Survey Center for the Center for Union Facts did a survey about the EFCA and yet here we are still talking about it. 

No matter how it is phrased the EFCA (Employee Free Choice Act) is anything but good for the American public.  Not to mention, that despite its name, it does not aid the employee and it most certainly does not give the employee choice.

Nearly two-thirds of economists surveyed believe Congress should not pass the Employee Free Choice Act.

When informed about EFCA’s binding arbitration clause, the percentage of economists in favor of the bill declined from 36% to just 27%.

58% percent of economists believe that increased unionization would have a negative effect on President Obama’s job creation program, while only 22% believe it would have a positive effect.

By a ratio of more than 3 to 1, economists surveyed believe that changes to the economy and business climate — rather than employer resistance — are likely to blame for the recent decline in union membership.

In the end, EFCA is not only a job killer – it will kill businesses, the backbone of this countries economy.  Listen to what business owner has to say about EFCA:

Closing Thoughts

“As President Obama looks for ways to pull the country out of its economic downturn, he should heed the opinions of economic experts who overwhelmingly believe that increased unionization will only further hinder our economic condition,” said Richard Berman, Executive Director of the Center for Union Facts. “Legislation like the curiously named Employee Free Choice Act, with its illogical binding arbitration clause, will only make things worse for American businesses and their employees.”
