One more reason the EFCA is a bad idea

Colorado-based UFCW Local 7, which claims to represent over 23,000 workers in the retail and health care industries, has announced an "Organizing Incentive Program," which pays employees for each card they obtain during an organizing campaign.  The following schedule is set forth on the Local's website:

$5.00 per authorization card obtained during the organizing campaign, paid to the person obtaining the card;
$10.00 per authorization card at the successful conclusion of a card check or the successful conclusion of an NLRB election, paid to the person originally obtaining the authorization card;
$15.00 per authorization card (signed prior to the successful card check/NLRB election) at the point that a contract is negotiated and approved, paid to the person originally obtaining the authorization card.

The website can be viewed HERE.
