Recognizing that passage of the Employee Free Choice Act is currently stalled at the national level, unions are acting at the state level to achieve the same effects, which are to inhibit employer interference in employees' ability to form unions: Kris Maher, Unions Push Issues in State Capitals, Wall Street Journal, November 11, 2009.
