Taking A Stand Against Employee Free Choice Act

Employers Group Provides Definitive White Paper on the Crushing Impact to Economy if Congress bends to Labor Unions by Passing EFCA

Los Angeles (PRWEB) May 21, 2009 -- Employers Group (www.EmployersGroup.com), one of the oldest, most esteemed employers advocacies in the country, has produced a white paper titled 2009: The Employee Free Choice Act and Other Potential Changes to Federal Law that examines the negative effect that Congressional passage of Employers Free Choice Act (EFCA560) would have on employers and the American economy. Click here to download the white paper and related resources for businesses.   

“We are clearly against this bill for a long list of reasons,” says Mark Wilbur, president and CEO of Employers Group. “Both business and labor need to ponder the real facts concerning the ramifications of passage of EFCA, and that’s why we produced this white paper.

“In addition to the traditional cost impacts, EFCA is a last ditch effort by labor to try and save a dying institution. We see first hand the impact that the UAW has had on the auto industry. If passed into law, this bill would eliminate the secret ballot and put those on the losing side –labor or employers -- at personal risk,” he adds, referring to EFCA’s elimination of the secret ballot that now ensures employees free choice in whether or not to unionize.
