I rise to the floor on this very important bill facing Atlasians right now that I am sponsoring: Employee Free Choice Act, or EFCA for short, is a vital bill protecting the rights of those who wish to form a union without coercion or intimidation from their employer(s).

I urge my colleagues to vote AYE on this bill to protect the unions from intimidation!

Seems a bit premature considering no debate has taken place on this bill. Or are you completely fine with ramming through bad bills without any debate?

Just because you don't agree with facts doesn't mean it's acceptable to skip debate on it.

Main topic for debate: if unionization is supposed to be to the benefit of the workers, what's wrong with letting all of the affected workers vote?

I, for one, believe that union membership is a force for good in a workplace, especially in an era like ours where economic inequality is on the rise around the world. This bill will strengthen unions, and this is also why I don't believe in the "right-to-work" school of labor policy which, in my opinion, would allow employers to take advantage of their workers and cause more harm than good.

If it's so good, then why not let the workers vote to join unions. Also, not all unions provide actual benefits for them.
