Good News, Bad News

CDW Members:

As Congress returns for a brief legislative session, President Barack Obama gave us some good news and some bad news.

First, he stated, regarding EFCA, "The opportunity to get this passed right now is not real high."

While that may be good (if not obvious) news to hear from the president, he followed that up by noting that the principles of card-check organizing could be achieved without passing legislation. According to The Hill, “the president also pivoted to note that many of the problems in organizing rules that EFCA sought to address might be fixed through administrative action.”

You can read the entire story here.

As noted in our last CDW Update, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has already begun its move to circumvent the legislative process and force the principles of EFCA on employees and employers via federal regulation. To read more about the Board’s recent rulings, click here.

CDW will continue to monitor the actions of the NLRB and other federal agencies, and keep you informed about any efforts to use the regulatory process to enact Big Labor’s EFCA-focused agenda.

Thanks,

Brian
