Employee Free Choice Act

The Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) is a proposed law aimed at making it easier for workers to join labor unions. It would allow them to form unions through a process called "card check," where a majority of employees sign cards in favor of union representation, rather than requiring a secret ballot election. The Act would also establish stronger penalties for companies that interfere with union organizing. Overall, EFCA seeks to enhance workers' rights to organize and collectively bargain for better wages and working conditions, fostering a more balanced power dynamic between employees and employers.
