Employee Free Choice Act / Labor Policy

Manufacturers and their employees rely on fairness and balance in our labor law system. The misnamed Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) – otherwise known as card check – would undermine that balance by radically restructuring labor law and overhauling a system that has served both unions and employers well for more than 60 years.

The NAM opposes the EFCA because it is a direct threat to global competitiveness and job creation.
