WASHINGTON, D.C.– Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) today launched a new
website,
TheTruthAboutEFCA.com , to help educate the public about the sweeping
economic and workplace consequences of the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), or
“card check” legislation.
TheTruthAboutEFCA.com will track the latest news from themainstream media and social networking sites, highlight academic studies and public
opinion data, and contain video ads and interviews to expose EFCA's threat to the U.S.
economy and an employee's right to a federally supervised private-ballot during union
organizing activities.
“If the Employee Free Choice Act is signed into law, recent studies show that it will have
a devastating impact on the U.S. economy and most likely result in the loss of jobs in the
commercial and industrial construction industry,” said Jerry Gorski, 2009 ABC National
Chairman and President of Gorski Engineering, Inc., Collegeville, Pa. “This new website
is an important tool in keeping the public informed and getting them involved in the
political process so they can voice their opposition to this legislation.”
TheTruthAboutEFCA.com is part of a multi-faceted new media campaign slated to help
shed light on the “card check” issue and expose some of the misinformation being spread
by EFCA supporters. Besides tracking the latest news on EFCA, the website contains a
blog with contributions from ABC staff and special guests. The website is sponsored by
the Free Enterprise Alliance, the issue advocacy arm of Associated Builders and
Contractors.
Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) is a national association representing 25,000 merit
shop construction and construction-related firms in 79 chapters across the United States.
