But there are <a href="http://campaigndiaries.com/2009/03/24/specter-no-to-efca/" rel="nofollow">four Republicans who are said to be open to some type of compromise</a>, first of which is Lika Murkowski, who said as much last month.

However, the NLRB offers substantive numbers on this subject. 94% of all union elections happen within 42-46 days after the union files with the NLRB for that election. Those that go longer are often at the request of the unions, who file "blocking" charges. Last year, unions WON 68% of these elections.

The present so-called "secret ballot" process under the National Labor relations Board has been so distorted by years of Republican appointed Board members, that it is no longer a viable way to obtain collective bargaining rights. It can take literally years of litigation under the present system for workers who want representation to even come close to an election. If an employer hires one of the many law firms who specialize in the process, the Board is so slanted toward employer wishes that the system can be played for years.<br>Forget about the overused argument about Unions being in it for the money they get from dues. It no longer makes economic or practical sense to try to organize workers under this process. The system is slanted to such an extent that it does, in fact, make sense for an employer to pay for one of these firms to represent them, because the NLRB process can help them.
