EFCA incorporates three key reforms designed to restore the right of workers to organize free from intimidation or harassment. It provides for certification of a union as representative of employees whenever a majority of workers have signed authorization cards; it facilitates initial labor agreements by requiring the use of mediation and binding arbitration where the parties cannot reach an agreement in 60 days; and establishes, for the first time, penalties against employers who violate workers right to organize.
