Did you contact your elected representative about stopping the pro-union "card-check" bill? The misnamed Employee Free Choice Act does more than take away workers' rights to vote in private. It also gives control of the workplace to government bureaucrats. Government officials would write the collective bargaining agreements of most newly organized companies. The government would set not just wages and benefits but all business operations that significantly affect workers, such as promotion procedures, retirement plans, health benefits, subcontracting, mergers, work assignments, even the machines used to run a plant. Employers would lose the ability to pursue their business strategies, and workers would lose all say about their workplace for two years. EFCA effectively constitutes a government takeover of America's workplaces. http://www.heritage.org/News/employee-free-choice-act.cfm Tell President Obama and Congress where you stand. http://www.congress.org/congressorg/issues/alert/?alertid=12990786&type=ML
