WASHINGTON — Legislation that would facilitate unionization passed the House of Representatives last week but it faces uncertain prospects in the Senate and a promised presidential veto, according to our sister publication, Workforce Management.
The House approved the bill — titled the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) — 241-185 on March 1. Thirteen Republicans joined 228 Democrats in supporting the measure, which would permit a union to be formed if a majority of workers sign authorization cards.
