Modify the Letter (optional): Congresswoman Mary Bono Mack 104 Cannon House Office Building Washington, D.C. 20515 Congressman Darrell Issa 2347 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Dear Congresswoman Bono Mack and Congressman Issa: I urge you to OPPOSE the flawed Employee Free Choice Act, H.R. 1409. Specifically, I urge you to oppose this proposal for the following reasons: 1. Elimination of the Secret Ballot: Trading the secret ballot process for one that invites intimidation and coercion and leads to widespread disenfranchisement of workers is not a step in the right direction. 2. Writing contracts through government imposed arbitration: Forced arbitration would impose unreasonable and inflexible terms and cause an employer to lose control over their operations, preventing them from growing their business. 3. Unreasonable and one-sided penalty expansion: EFCA imposes dramatic new penalties on employers for violations of the National Labor Relations Act, but not a single new penalty on unions or labor organizers. Finally, EFCA would have a particularly devastating impact on small employers who, as the primary source for new jobs, are counted on to reverse the current economic downturn. This bill is an awful idea in good economic times and a catastrophic idea in the difficult economic times now upon us. Please protect the ability of American workers to choose whether or not to unionize through federally-supervised secret ballot elections. I urge you to OPPOSE, H.R 1409, the Employee Free Choice Act.
