The "Employee Free Choice Act"

The “Employee Free Choice Act”—better known as Card Check or EFCA—would be the most sweeping and dramatic change to labor law since 1947. It would restrict choice and take away freedom by eliminating the secret ballot, requiring mandatory and binding arbitration and increase government control of business. Studies show that if EFCA passes, more jobs will be lost which our country – and Indiana – cannot afford.

Senator Evan Bayh has a record of support for Card Check – cosponsoring the legislation and voting for cloture of the bill in 2007. He has not gone public with his position on this critical issue in 2009 but his record speaks for itself. In a recent survey 71% of Hoosiers said that they DO NOT support card check. DO NOT LET EVAN BAYH KILL JOBS – TELL HIM TO VOTE NO ON CARD CHECK!

Card Check WOULD KILL INDIANA JOBS

1) ELIMINATES THE SECRET BALLOT

Card Check would strip workers of their right to cast a secret ballot in union organizing elections opening the door for intimidation and coercion.

2) INCREASED GOVERNMENT CONTROL

Card Check would put Washington bureaucrats in charge of making binding decisions with regard to workers pay, health care, vacation policy and other workplace conditions without a vote by employees or approval of the employer.

3) Harsh New Penalties for Business

Card check would increase penalties on business – but NOT unions – for violations during the union organizing process.

What Hoosiers Really Think about Card Check

Poll reveals majority of Indiana residents oppose legislation that could take away secret ballot and allow more government power in labor matters. Union Households show higher opposition to EFCA.
