Until this week, CEOs, union-busters, and conservative Republicans have actively opposed the Employee Free Choice Act, mainly because of a provision they call “card check.” But card check provides exactly what they’ve been saying they want since the National Mediation Board (NMB) decided Monday to permit airline and railroad workers to obtain collective bargaining rights through majority-rule elections. The anti-worker-rights groups contend election rights enjoyed by everyone else in a democracy should be denied workers. Instead, they want collective bargaining determinations made by the majority of all of those qualified to participate – a supermajority. So, clearly, since they’re so upset by the NMB decision to stop requiring supermajority for airline and railroad workers, they’d be happy if Congress now intervened and instituted it for all workers by passing the Employee Free Choice Act.
