James Sherk of the Heritage Foundation and Paul Kersey of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy have put together two excellent pieces making the case against the so-called Employee Free Choice Act, which passed the House last week but faces an uncertain future in the Senate.

The first piece explains why the bill is a bad deal for workers. The second details why binding arbitration for unions endangers competitiveness.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who has done a wonderful job keeping Republicans united, should be able to round up the 60 votes needed to make sure this unpopular, anti-democratic payoff to Democrat special interests never reaches the president’s desk. That being said, it’s not a bad idea to call your senators and voice your opposition to the Employee Free Choice Act.
