                        EMPLOYEE FREE CHOICE ACT

  (Mr. BACA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. BACA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to support the Employee Free 
Choice Act. Too many workers are being harassed by their employers 
because they want to form a union. We must put an end to scare tactics. 
This bill restores the right of workers to bargain for a better life. 
It will help 6 million workers join for better wages, benefits, working 
conditions and improving the quality of life. No more employer 
harassment. Simple and fair. The card-based system is pressure free. 
When workers choose, bargaining results are more peaceful, worker-
friendly. Please vote for this important legislation.
