It's just irresistible to think about what might be on the top of the list for the Obama administration's first 100 days. The Honeymoon Period will be in full effect. Will there be significant movement on health care? Military justice? Many think an important union-organization bill could be on the agenda. Labeled the `New Deal' of the 21st century, the Employee Free Choice Act is a bipartisan amendment to the National Labor Relations Act that would radically alter how unions are organized by bypassing the need for an election. Instead of a secret-ballot election, a majority of workers would simpy have to sign a card in order to unionize. "Obama has been a staunch supporter of the EFCA and there's no reason to believe it would not pass if reintroduced," says  Gardere attorney Celeste Yeager. "And if so, states such as Texas, where there has historically been little union activity, will prove to be fertile grounds for unionizing efforts. To prepare, employers need to make sure their management teams are properly trained and communication avenues remain open and non-combative."
