Hi Friends, The other day, I caught up with UCLA Center for Labor Research and Education Director Kent Wong to ask him a couple questions about the Employee Free Choice Act.  He was super nice and we conducted a quick Q/A over the phone.  I have it all transcribed and ready for your viewing and listening pleasure below.  (Except for my badly mangled photoshop attempt)

The Employee Free Choice Act was introduced in Congress today and members of the Corportocracy Elite are deathly upset.  This includes virtually all conservative members of Congress on both sides of the aisle. Bernard Marcus, former CEO of Home Depot, is so upset about the Employee Free Choice act that in a conference call with other Corportocracy Royalists called this legislation the "demise of civilization!"  Don't believe me?  I even have the audio below.
Bernie Marcus claims the Employee Free Choice Act will be the demise of civilization as we know it
