Washington, D.C.-The Fertilizer Institute has voiced opposition to the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), which seeks to allow employees to form unions by getting a majority of workers to sign cards instead of holding a secret ballot. The legislation was introduced by Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) and Rep. George Miller (D-Calif.) TFI said it is actively lobbying against its passage, and has joined the Coalition for a Democratic Workplace (CDW). TFI is also participating in the National Association of Manufacturers’ efforts to combat this bill. Additionally, TFI launched a letter-writing campaign that encourages its membership to write to their Congressional representatives to request that they vote against the measure.
