The Employee Free Choice Act would enable working people to bargain for better benefits, wages and working conditions by restoring workers’ freedom to choose for themselves whether to join a union. It would:
Remove current obstacles to employees who want collective bargaining. Guarantee that workers who can choose collective bargaining are able to achieve a contract. Allow employees to form unions by signing cards authorizing union representation.
1)The EFCA strengthens penalties against companies that illeagaly coerce or intimidate employees in an effort to prevent them from forming a union.
2)It also brings in a neutral third party to settle a contract when a company and a certified union can't agree on a contract after three months.
3)Plus it lets employees decide how to express their choice to organize, either by balloting,or majority sign up, meaning that if a majority of the employees sign union authorization cards, validated by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), a company must recognize the union.
What this is saying is that it is redoing the NLRA or the National Labor Relations Act which has failed over the past years because employers are forcing people through threats to vote against unions the ignoring the union if there is one in place.

H.R. 800, the Employee Free Choice Act of 2007, seeks to strengthen and expands the American middle class by restoring workers’ freedom to organize and collectively bargain under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). The bill reforms the NLRA to provide for union certification through simple majority sign-up procedures, first contract mediation and binding arbitration, and tougher penalties for violations of workers’ rights during organizing and first contract drives. The Employee Free Choice Act of 2007 furthers the long-standing policy of the United States to encourage the practice of collective bargaining and to protect the exercise by workers of full freedom of association, self-organization, and designation of representatives of their own choosing, for the purpose of negotiating the terms and conditions of their employment or other mutual aid or protection. http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=110_cong_reports&docid=f:hr023.110.pdf
The Employee Free Choice Act would allow workers to bargain for better benefits, wages, and working conditions by reastoring them the choice to join or not to join a union. -Remove Current Obstacles for employees who want collective barganing
-Guarantee Workers who chose collective barganing have the ability to acheive a contract
-Allow employees to form unions by signing cards authorizing union representation.
The Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) would alter the employee-employer relationship in three fundamental ways: 1. It requires employers to recognize a union-- without an election--once organizers collect cards from a majority of employees. The act states that once the union submits signatures from over 50 percent of the employees to the National Labor Relations Board, it must certify the union without an election;
2. It imposes first-contract mediation and arbitration; and
3. It dramatically increases the penalties for unfair labor practices committed by employers during an organizing drive.
EFCA replaces secret ballot elections--the method by which most workers join unions--with publicly signed union cards. Under the EFCA, workers have no say in union organizing tactics: EFCA does not permit workers to sign cards that call for an election without also counting those signatures toward a card-check majority. Workers must decide whether or not to join a union publicly in front of union organizers.
The Employee Free Choice Act proposes workers to bargain 4 better benefits, wages, and working conditions by reastoring them, the choice to join or not to join a union.
