First: Do you have a pulse? You are reading this, so I will assume the answer is "Yes". If so, then you have probably heard about the Employee Free Choice Act even though you may not know what all its provisions are, particularly any of its provisions beyond representation based on signing cards in addition to representation based on a secret ballot election. It has been in the news, discussed in diaries on Daily Kos and the subject of ads here for years.
But did you know that this year we have a bumper crop of other bills to amend the NLRA, including proposals by Republicans eager to amend this country's fundamental law on employee rights to support one another, union organization, and collective bargaining?
As you might expect, the bills introduced by the Republicans are not friendly amendments, nor are they friendly to worker rights, unions, or collective bargaining.
