The Labor Relations Process

The Employee Free Choice Act provides that the workers are at full liberty to join any union and this in broader terms implies that the economy of the state can commit to serve every citizen. Perhaps some of the benefits of the Employee Free Choice Act include the improvement of the standards of living of the Americas working class families. In the US, workers who have joined union are likely to earn higher wages and have a propensity of being covered by the health insurance provided by their employers (Jerald, 2003).

The Act can help fix a broken system which gives corporations a lot of power. The Act provides the workers with freedom to be members of unions. It is important to note that some companies in the US are against workers who form unions. These companies end up firing the workers after intimidating and harassing them. The Act shall greatly reduce these incidences.

The third benefit of the Act will be the restoration of fairness and the promising of the dream of America. The America dream is to see a robust middle class, the shared prosperity and a steady economic growth. The arrangement that the offensive employers should only receive punitive damages from the court leaving bare the National Labor Relations Board does not have any fair ground. There should be some power accorded to the board to prevent employers from committing unfair labor practices and the board should commit the employers to some agreements which will protect the workers rights. The over reliance on the judicial system on every aspect has led to the mistreatments of the workers who may not have any powers to mention their pleas.  The solution therefore lies in the augmentation of the National Labor Relations Board and the enforcement of the Employee Free Choice Act (Jerald, 2003).
