Dem's Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) make it easier to form unions
From the ABCNote:

Gov. Tom Vilsack (D-IA), the chairman of the Democratic Leadership Council, has been working to forge closer ties between the business-friendly DLC and the labor organizations that are the base of the Democratic Party.
Some of the fruits of his work will be on display Wednesday, Sept. 6 at 11:30 am ET at the Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill when the DLC and top labor organizations come together to announce their joint support for the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA).
The act would make it easier to form unions by requiring employers to recognize a union after a majority of workers sign cards authorizing union representation.
the Wall Street Journal's ed board slams "Big Labor's bid to kill secret union elections" in today's newspaper.
The Journal warns: "The Kennedy-Miller measure has more than 200 House co-sponsors, including all but four Democrats and more than a dozen Republicans. All that's needed now is for a House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to get the ball rolling."

1. That's exactly what workers need

Workers should have the right to organize, and if the corporate fat cats who overstuff their already bloated bank accounts with the fruit of their employees' labor don't like it, then tough shit!
