Schwarzenegger "terminates" the EFCA in California
Gov. Schwarzenegger vetoed California legislation very similar to the Employee Free Choice Act. The California legislation would have allowed workers to form unions by signing union authorization cards rather than going through a union campaign resulting in an election. The law would have also increased penalties for labor law violations.
Schwarzenegger, declared in his veto message that, “This 'card check' process fundamentally alters an employee's right to a secret ballot election.”
