EFCA obviously will not pass as it is, but it is definitely needed. For there to be such a vehement and massive boycott, it only leaves rise to reason the Actual Need for protection for the American Employee.. Today, as the EFCA is written the balance may be too much for the employee/union and of course government.. so, yeah, it obviously still needs a bit of adjustment! It is time that we bring back fairness to the worker and of course to help bring back the purchasing power to the economy My only question, when did it become a privilege to work for a company instead of the company being privileged to having the employee help them grow?
