Gov. Mitt Romney discusses the Employee Free Choice Act with media and bloggers.
>> More from The Hill
Romney used a Monday conference call to attack a little-noticed provision in the bill that would require binding arbitration if a union and a business cannot come to a labor agreement within 120 days, which Romney called "about as un-American a thing as I can imagine."
NRO, The Corner: Binding Arbitration from David Freddoso:
Democrats intend card-check as a subsidy for flagging unions' fiscal health and for their ability to influence future elections. But binding arbitration is perhaps more fundamentally dangerous, as it undercuts the labor-management negotiation that is a key part of a functioning free market. It may be onerous to deal with a union, but how much more onerous to have the government force an employer to accept that union's demands.

Romney spoke yesterday about the lack of incentive the legislation would provide for unions to negotiate a fair contract within the 90-day window and what mandatory arbitration and government-mandated contract baselines would do to job creation and the American economy.
