Our newest featured column is on what may be the hottest legislative topic of the next Congress: the peculiarly titled Employee Free Choice Act, which would abolish secret-ballot union elections in favor of a "card-check" system and would impose mandatory arbitration when employers failed to agree to an initial union contract, among other provisions. Chicago professor and Manhattan Institute adjunct fellow Richard Epstein sorts through the likely impacts.
