Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney will make a stop in the nation's capital today to headline a panel sponsored by the Workforce Fairness Institute on the potential negative impact of the Employee Free Choice Act. Romney has worked with WFI before -- appearing on a conference call in April to voice his strong opposition to the bill, which is almost certain to reemerge later this summer for a fight in the Senate. The legislation is regarded by the business community as THE critical fight of the 111th Congress and Romney's central role in the pushback against the bill is -- yet another -- sign of his prime positioning for the 2012 presidential race.

The forum will focus on how the Employee Free Choice Act would dramatically change U.S. labor laws by depriving workers of a private vote in union elections and require forced government arbitration if an employer and employee union do not agree on the terms of a labor contract.
