The House of Representatives earlier today passed
the Employee Free Choice Act by a vote of 241-185.
13 Republicans voted for it while just 2 Democrats voted against.
EFCA faces an uphill battle the rest of the way. The Republicans will filibuster in the Senate; if it manages to squeak out, it then faces George Bush's veto pen (manufactured in an overseas sweatshop, paid for by MegaCorp USA ©).
For his part, Bush has already threatened to veto legislation fully implementing all of the 9/11 Commission recommendations because it grants airport screeners the right to unionize.
Nice priorities, George.
