Have you decided where your loyalty lies? As federal lawmakers continue quietly jockeying for and against the legislation, non-elected individuals are a bit less subtle. Web sites and press releases abound on both sides of the EFCA debate. The battle even has reached Twitter: I follow both EFCANow and NoEFCA.

If you have yet to make up your mind, listen in as Associate Editor Kathleen Koster moderates a special extended two-part episode of our podcast series, “Five Minutes With,” featuring two experts on either side of the EFCA issue -- Nancy Schiffer, associate general counsel with the AFL-CIO, and Arnold Perl, partner in Ford & Harrison LLP's Memphis office. Click here to download the audio, and don’t miss her June 1 cover story, “EFCA debate roils between employer, union groups."

I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts about the pros and cons of EFCA as the debate continues.
