Abstract:

In light of the proposed legislation, Employee Free Choice Act, or the union card check legislation, North Carolina lawyers are urging employers and employees in the state to educate themselves and their elected officials on the three major impacts. These impacts would include the elimination of the secret-ballot election in union organization, requirement of negotiation within 10 days, and an increase in penalties for federal labor violations on employers but not unions.
