Romney Calls EFCA "Anti-American"

Update: Video of Event

via The Daily Times:
Romney: EFCA bad for U.S.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney told a group of 50 community leaders at the Iron Shop Wednesday afternoon that the Employee Free Choice Act is anti-American and will cause the loss of businesses and jobs.

He said two provisions of the law would strike at the ability of people seeking opportunities and realizing their dreams.

One is the issue of secret-ballot elections when employees vote for a union, which he claimed would be eliminated. “Instead, they would be subject to intimidation and coercion,” Romney said of the employees.

He also objected to a provision that sends contract negotiation to binding arbitration if an agreement hasn’t been reached in a certain time.

Romney added, “It would deter people from starting businesses. It would kill the ability of Americans to create new jobs.”
