The Employee Free Choice Act could increase unionization rates but cost the American economy 4.5 million jobs, and will be particularly costly to small businesses.

Most of the criticism of the Employee Free Choice Act has centered on the card check provision, but another component could prove to be the most damaging.

The Obama administration's efforts to increase unionization are harmful to the nation's employment outlook, as there are other methods available to raise wages and expand employment opportunities at a fraction of the cost of higher unionization.

The Employee Free Choice Act would undercut the idea of a secret ballot in unionization drives and guarantee mandatory arbitration of many initial collective bargaining agreements.
