Trouble for EFCA

As the LAT reports, EFCA is in trouble. I presume EFCA won't die but will reappear in the fall or in a year. It could even wait until after the 2010 elections, should the Democrats continue gains. As the article spells out, pro-labor groups and congresspeople have a tough time ahead thanks to the persistence and organization of NAM, Chamber of Commerce, and a list of "merchants' associations" targeted the two senators who sponsored EFCA, Lincoln (D-AR) and Specter (D-PA).
