National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) President John Engler today issued the following statement in response to the announcement by Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA) that he will not vote for cloture on the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), also known as “card check”: I am very pleased that Senator Arlen Specter has decided to vote against cloture on the EFCA. EFCA is a flawed piece of legislation that will destroy jobs and prolong the current economic recession. Manufacturers stand behind Senator Specter’s decision to vote against EFCA and appreciate his decision to put working men and women, the economy and the nation first.
