Fox and The GOP Fearmonging About Employee Free Choice
Ever willing to be the Republican party’s mouthpiece, FOX News is now trumpeting right-wing talking points on the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA). On FOX News Sunday, Chris Wallace used the Democrats’ secret ballot regarding Lieberman last week to frame the ongoing debate about EFCA. “Why is a secret ballot okay and desirable for Congress,” Wallace asked Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD), “but you want to take it away for workers?”
This is a bogus comparison for a number of reasons. For starters, it suggests the false notion that EFCA would deprive workers seeking to unionize from using a secret ballot.
