Unions Must Stop Supporting Legislation That Kills Jobs - FOXNews.com: "'Card check' is the provision in this bill that would strip workers of the right to vote using a secret ballot during a union election.

It would be immensely difficult to refuse to sign the card if a union boss followed you home.

Under EFCA, employees and employers would also lose the decision-making ability to negotiate contracts. In what is the most egregious provision in EFCA, a federal bureaucrat with no knowledge of the particular industry would dictate wages, benefits and workplace conditions under a contract that is binding for two years. This mandatory, binding arbitration is different from other forms of arbitration, in which the arbitrator just interprets the contracts agreed upon by both parties. Under EFCA, this government arbitrator would dictate the terms."
