- The current system would be replaced with a "card check" shortcut where a workplace would be automatically be unionized if 50 percent of the workers simply sign an authorization card, enabling a Labor Union to totally control the process.

 |  "Card check" is the fairest and most effective way to determine the wishes of a majority of employees when they decide on whether to have a union in the workplace. |  | |  EFCA gives employees the option of using a card check scheme; it does not replace the secret ballot election. Employees are still free to choose a secret ballot process. | | |  The current secret ballot election process takes too long and delays of months or years are common. | | |  |
