The misnamed Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), or card check, has been introduced in both the House and Senate, and this legislation poses drastic consequences for manufacturers. The National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) is urging Congress to oppose the card check legislation in any form.

A small group of Senators continue efforts to develop a variation of card check. Some of the alternatives being discussed include:

· Ambush elections
· Binding interest arbitration
· Postcard check
· Increased access for union organizers

The NAM continues to educate Congress on the negative impact that card check and other misguided schemes will have on the economy and manufacturers ability to create jobs.
