Via the Adjunct Law Prof Blog, we learned that a new coalition, the Business Leaders for a Fair Economy is speaking out in support of the Employee Free Choice Act of 2009. The coalition released this ad, which claims that 1,000 business leaders agree the Employee Free Choice Act is key to restoring the country’s economy. The Act ( Senate version: S. 560 and Status; House version: H.R. 1409 and Status ) is currently in the U.S. Congress and as it relates to dispute resolution, it would amend the National Labor Relations Act to require first mediation and then binding arbitration if both parties are unable to reach an agreement within a certain time frame. As we blogged recently, George McGovern has openly opposed the passage of the Act. Let us know your thoughts about the Employee Free Choice Act!
