Some EFCA updates:
Looks like the Employee Free Choice Act could get introduced as early as next week. It’ll easily pass the House when it comes up for a vote, just as it did last year, but passage in the Senate will be hard and it doesn’t help that the Minnesota seat remains unresolved.
Tomorrow, Vice President Joe Biden is supposed to give a full-throated defense of the act when he speaks to top AFL officials at their meeting in Miami.
Meanwhile, in the hotly contested House race to replace New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, the Republican, Jim Tedisco was endorsed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce today in no small part because his opponent is supporting EFCA.
