EFCA Game Plan

Sometimes it's just better to let others say it.  Here is a link to a blog where the EFCA finally came down like the anvil hitting the roadrunner in the head.  It's titled "Don't Wait, Panic Now."

With regards to the Employee Free Choice Act and the future...  

"We are in a different game.  The game is not even in a well-lit stadium.  It is in the back streets, in dark corners, in places we don't have access to.  We don't know the rules.  We don't even know all the players.  We probably won't know when the game begins.  Don't wait, panic now."  -- R & S Associates Blog

I love the sport analogy and especially "We probably won't know when the game begins."  Ron Ulrici of R & S is absolutely correct because for a lot of companies the passing of the EFCA will be like a tie ball game going into Sudden Death overtime.  The first one to score will win.  

So before the EFCA passes, get out your playbook, get all your coaches on the same page, pump up the defense and develop the greatest offensive game your company can for it's survival.  Because if you lose, everyone loses and I mean everyone--your employees, your customers, your vendors and your community.

Or forget the sport angle and just educate yourself.  Read blogs, talk to other HR gurus, especially those that have experience with unions or campaigns and "Join the Conversation" for the latest updates on labor and the EFCA.
