More on Bennet and Manchin dumping EFCA

Here's a little more on a story I covered yesterday, the dropping of support of the so-called Employee Free Choice Act by Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) and West Virginia's Democratic Governor, Joe Manchin, who is running for the Senate.

A favorite of Big Labor, EFCA will take away workers' rights to a secret ballot election when asked if they want to join a union.

Remember: West Virginia is a big union state. Yes, EFCA is really that bad.

From Human Events:

Katie Gage, the executive director of the Workforce Fairness Institute (WFI) told HUMAN EVENTS that Democrat candidates are being forced answer tough questions from the electorate for their prior support of the card check bill.

"For years, small businesses have been saying loudly and clearly that the Employee 'Forced' Choice Act is a job-killer. But there remains a loyal group of union boss supporters both in Congress and within the Obama Administration who are more concerned with 'payback' than job creation," Gage said. "Today, we find that both Governor Manchin in West Virginia and Senator Bennet in Colorado have come out publicly in opposition to EFCA, which demonstrates the voices of employees and employers across the country are louder and stronger than the special interests in Washington, D.C."
