H.R. 1409
- Employee Free Choice Act
(U.S. House of Representatives Version)
Southwest California
Legislative Council Position: OPPOSE
H.R. 1409 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 H.R. 1409 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.
