Recently, while doing a bit of research for a post on organizing online workers, I came across the "Join a union" section of the AFL-CIO's website. Unfortunately, their "Join a union" page is really not very well-suited to prospective union members at all. Instead, the page is geared towards passage of the Employee Free Choice Act.

I'm all for the EFCA, and I hope it becomes law as soon as possible. But when someone comes knocking at your front door, you don't thrust a petition in his or her face.
