Dana Disinformation

Sometimes the posturing goes overboard, like here. The poster, a frequent source of pointed anti-EFCA, anti labor posts, does a disservice to the legitimate arguments against both. We have consistently written in favor of the NLRB's 2007 decision in Dana Corp, and its positive protections which avoid collusive imposition of a union on a workforce without a secret ballot election to determine majority status. We have argued Dana Corp would have been a better pattern for EFCA reform than EFCA. We still believe that to be true. But the reality is Dana Corp changed labor law, and the Obama Board's return to pre-Dana law of recognition (the old law was in place for 50 years) is less remarkable than the Dana decision itself. Posters who suggest otherwise are uninformed, or worse.
