A: The Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) was originally proposed by Congress in 2009 and included a number of changes designed to make it easier for unions and their organizers to unionize companies and to obtain union contracts with employers. Legislative activity involving health care reform and financial industry regulations have pushed EFCA to the back burner. Presently, EFCA is dead in the water, although the Senate is discussing potential compromises and changes in the proposed law that could attract 60 votes and lead to eventual enactment. Right now, it is too soon to tell whether those compromise discussions will be successful.

Q: If Congress can’t pass EFCA, should employers concern themselves with the possibility of union organizing?

A: Yes.
