The Employee Free Choice Act: Congress, Where Do We Go from Here?

David P. Twomey

Abstract

This lead article surveys the present state of legal protections for employees seeking to join unions and engage in collective bargaining. The author's timely analysis of newly-filed legislation, the Employee Free Choice Act, offers an invaluable resource covering employer practices in response to unionization initiatives, along with relevant case history and NLRB board composition as they influence case outcomes. The author recommends adoption of this legislation to remedy longstanding deficiencies in the National Labor Relations Act, and as a way to foster improvements in working conditions, and labor organizations' attempts to protect employee rights.
