Despite rumors that the "card check" provision may be removed from EFCA, other clauses of this bill will still have a negative impact on the relationship between employers and employees. A few of the changes to the NLRA are neither the employer nor employee will have the right to turn down an arbitrator’s proposed contract. Also, all negotiation will not exceed 120 days of bargaining. Most contract negotiations go beyond 120 days. Maybe because unlike congress both parties read what they are signing!

EFCA’s Proposed Arbitration Clause:
Replaces the will of workers with the whims of government arbitrators.
Section 3 of EFCA empowers government arbitrators to unilaterally “render a decision†after just 120 days of bargaining, thereby dictating contract terms upon workers and employers alike.
Since most contract negotiations exceed 120 days, the breathtaking toxicity of these arbitration provisions is obvious.
And what happens when the DimRats are no longer in power, and the NLRB is staffed with conservative appointees? That seems like it could backfire big time on the unions. :popcorn:

Having been actively involved with NLRB rulings, they've always been handled on a political level rather than a contractual or reasonable interpretation.
Hell, one of the former heads, under the Bush administration would regularly go on talk-radio speaking about how much he hated unions.

Are there still any unions out there that are worth a spit?

I doubt it. I think most of them have become an extension of the DimRat party. Now, that is not to say that there are decent members in those unions.
