Louisiana church leaders call for EFCA passage

Late last week 118 local ministers and religious leaders signed an open letter to Senators Mary Landrieu and David Vitter calling for their support to pass the Employee Free Choice Act. Passage they say is a "moral responsibility." The full letter can be read here, and another letter here. My sense is that some form of EFCA will pass, but it won't contain card check recognition, and if labor insists upon taking away employees' right to vote in a secret ballot election, EFCA is dead.
