Employee Free Choice Act Video
Is Vital in Today's Climate
Fully Updated for 2008

No other legislation has been at once so important and yet so ignored as the Employee Free Choice Act. Unions have been working on their legislative agenda like never before, and companies throughout the US are now finding that the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) is not something they can ignore in the hopes that it will not affect them.

In 2007, Projections created the first edition of "No Vote, No Voice: Union Tactics for the 21st Century." This employee relations video explained the EFCA and it's implications in a straightforward way that applied to employees and management alike. Now, the revised 2008 edition of the "No Vote, No Voice" video communicates current and relevant information. This Employee Free Choice Act video is the most powerful and informative stock communication piece available today.

Read more, below, to find out why the EFCA is dangerous legislation.

In March 2007, the US House of Representatives passed the "Employee Free Choice Act." The EFCA was later defeated in the Senate, but is fully expected to make a comeback after the 2008 Presidential elections. The proposed legislation in the Employee Free Choice Act would have effectively made it legal for unions to organize workers by having a simple majority - 50% +1 of employees - sign authorization cards. This technique, called "card check" was previously legal, but did not require employers to recognize a union until a secret ballot election had been held.

The Employee Free Choice Act also calls for the use of an arbitrator to make binding contract decisions if the company and the union cannot come to an agreement within 90 days. The arbitrator’s decisions would stand for two full years before negotiations could again take place.

Finally, the EFCA demands more stringent penalties for companies - not unions - in the event of a ULP.

As politics shift surrounding the 2008 elections, the Employee Free Choice Act is almost certain to make a comeback. This is dangerous legislation for companies and employees alike, as deception, harassment, and new organizing tactics play a strong role in the card signing process.

Companies need to be aware of the tactics unions are using, from Corporate Campaigns to Neutrality Agreements to organizing by Card Check. Protect employees’ right to a fair, secret ballot election by educating them now about the tactics organizers may take, and how they may lose the right to a democratic election if they do sign a card.

Projections' newest video on DVD elaborates on Card Checks and Neutrality Agreements and will educate employees and supervisors on the tactics unions are using today to gain access and recognition.


"No Vote, No Voice:
Union Tactics For the 21st Century"

Card checks were used to sign up roughly 70% of the private-sector workers who joined unions last year, according to A.F.L.-C.I.O. officials. That compares with less than 5% two decades ago. If you’re seeing these more subtle attacks, don't be fooled - the union is aggressively working to organize your employees. Communicate the dangers of Neutrality Agreements, Corporate Campaigns and non-election "card checks."
