S. 560 - Employee Free Choice Act

(U.S. Senate Version)

Fresno Chamber Position: OPPOSE

S. 560 would undermine long standing principles of workplace democracy and fairness and result in employees having less ability to determine if they wish to be represented by a union. It does so by allowing unions to collect employee signatures in public-or so-called "card check"-and do away with the secret ballot process.

While S. 560 is being promoted by organized labor as labor law reform to level the playing field, it does not represent "reform" in any sense of the word. Rather, the legislation will radically restructure 60 years of carefully crafted labor law balances that have served both unions and employers well for many decades.
