EFCA Senate Support Wavering
The Employee Free Choice Act was introduced in Congress Tuesday, as its key supporters in the Senate are beginning to express doubt. The Wall Street Journal lists Senators Blanche Lincoln (D. Ark.), Mark Pryor (D. Ark.), Mary Landrieu (D. La.), and Arlen Specter (R. Pa.) as among at least six senators who have backed off their previous support of the proposal, saying they are now either opposed to or unsure about the bill. These splits among Democrats underscore how difficult it will be for the Employee Free Choice Act, in its current form, to garner the 60 votes needed to avoid another Senate filibuster.
