Whether or not EFCA was discussed, the fact the job-killing “card check” bill still remains in the Democrat playbook has many businesses and entrepreneurs on alert. In an open letter to President Obama today, Gary Shapiro, President and CEO of the Consumer Electronics Association, provided some candid advice to the president on how to ease the concerns of America’s business community and bring job growth back. High up on that list was to “take ‘card check’ off the table:”
