The misnamed Employee Free Choice Act (“card check” or “EFCA”) is publicly quiet but privately very much alive and being enthusiastically worked on by the unions and their Democratic allies in Congress. This economy-depressing and jobs-killing piece of legislation will be publicly resurrected after the health care debate this fall. Last year, when discussions regarding the EFCA began to heat up, former senator and the 1972 Democratic nominee for president George McGovern penned a thoughtful opinion piece opposing it. Despite his long and ardent support of the labor movement, McGovern said that EFCA was “a disturbing and undemocratic overreach [that was] not in the interest of either management or labor.“ As EFCA supporters try desperately to repackage this measure to achieve the 60 votes they need to cut off debate and speed the bill toward passage in the Senate, McGovern’s words are more valuable now than ever.
