The end of civilization as we know it? The worst bill ever? That is how the right and much of business have characterized the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA). From Newt Gingrich to Mitch McConnell and business leaders including Warren Buffet the argument is being made that EFCA will in fact cost jobs.
