USPS unions have "binding arbitration" and a "no strike clause".

The other government employee unions have less.

This bill would give unions in the private sector MORE power to invoke government intervetion than the public sector unions have.

Wonder how log that situation would last.

The arbitration aspect of EFCA is really disturbing. There has never been compulsory arbitration for private employers ever.

Federal arbitrators will have to try and be equitable- the result will have to be federal “guidelines” for wages for every occupation and endeavor so the arbitrators will know how to rule when they are writing these contracts.

This is sort of the flip side of the banking debacle where the democrats are trying to determine “just” compensation for bankers and AIG staff.

Law of unintended consequences at work.

Leftists love change when it works in one direction.
