Another installment of our semi-regular peek around the blogosphere for commentary on the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA)....

The National Association of Manufacturers' (NAM) blog, Shopfloor.org, takes to task a recent Bangor Daily News editorial by the head of Maine's AFL-CIO in "More Deflection -- That's the Nice Term -- On Card Check."  NAM's astute blogger in chief, Carter Wood, observes of union politicking against EFCA opponents:

There’s another response, too: Name calling. The AFL-CIO is fond of “sleaze
propagandist” as a term of opprobrium; the gentlest attack is “anti-worker.”

But Mr. Obama, a lawyer, flatly says the bill "will allow workers to form a
union through majority sign-up and card checks" - bypassing the ballot process.
Union leaders have said they prefer this to an election in which employers and
unions compete for worker votes.

A national survey of 1,000 registered voters conducted by the Chamber in June
found 83 percent were either strongly or somewhat opposed to a system where
union organizers "would know which workers voted to join a union and which did
not."

Finally, Paul Levy's Running a Hospital blog, Betsy Newmark's Betsy's Page, and DarwinCatholic blog all expound upon former Senator George McGovern's recent WSJ editorial criticizing the Democratic majority's zeal to pass EFCA.
