The '''Employee Free Choice Act''' is a piece of legislation that would eliminate a worker's right to a private vote on whether to form a [[labor union]]. It was first introduced by Larry Miller (D-CA) in 2003 and again in 2005. In 2007, it was approved by the [[United States House of Representatives|House of Representatives]] by a vote of 241-185. However, it never came to a vote in the Senate after a [[Republican]] [[filibuster]]. It stands a strong chance of passing in the [[111th United States Congress]].<ref>http://www.blankrome.com/index.cfm?contentID=37&itemID=1779</ref>
==Quote==
[[Orrin Hatch]] (R-UT) on the Employee Free Choice Act:
<blockquote>
"I can't think of a more insidious bill in my time in the United States Senate." He falsely claimed that the EFCA would "do away with secret ballot elections in union elections." The anti-worker Employee Freedom Action Committee is running ads claiming, "Union bosses have new scheme that makes it easier for them to harass and intimidate workers into paying costly union dues."
