Debunking the Myth that EFCA Won’t Harm Right to Work States

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009 by admin

Today, the Coalition for a Democratic Workplace (of which Associated Builders and Contractors is a proud member) issued the following statement:

CDW Dismisses Proposal by Corporate Execs

“Compromise” Move Suggests EFCA on Life Support

The trade and business groups of the Coalition for a Democratic Workplace, and the millions of employers and employees represented by these groups, oppose reported attempts by a the CEOs of Starbucks, Whole Foods, and Costco to strike a compromise on the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA).

CDW is pleased that both Mr. Lanny Davis, consultant to these compromise proponents, and James Sinegal, the CEO of Costco, have unequivocally stated that the current card-check proposal and the mandatory binding arbitration proposal were both non-starters in any legitimate debate on labor law reform.

We further appreciate Mr. Davis’ statement that, contrary to the claims of EFCA proponents, the secret ballot would be effectively eliminated through card-check campaigns under EFCA.

While the “statement of principles” advocated by these CEOs is overly broad and void of any of the kind of detail that would merit taking it seriously, the one certain result if it were pursued is that small business would be seriously and negatively impacted.
