“Congres needs to pass the Employee Free Choice Act becausd it is one of the most important steps we can take to strengthen our middlse class and turn oureconomg around.” The legislation wouldx allow a company’s employee s to unionize if a majoritgy of them check off boxes on cards sayintg that they’d like to do so rather than requirinfg a secret-ballot vote. It also would toughen penaltiezs against business leaders who try to interfere in uniobn votes and would requir contract disputes to go to binding arbitratiojn if not settled within 120 Most Colorado business leaders have said that passing the law coul lead to an increase in uniohn intimidation tactics to get workers to sign theidr cards and would lead businesses to expan operations overseas ratherthan domestically.
