As part of Cornell's School of Industrial and Labor Relations' Union Days, attorney and labor activist Tom Geoghegan spoke about the Employee Free Choice Act yesterday. The event also included a social justice fair, photo exhibit titled "Unseen America", and a debate between two labor attorneys ? each taking a different stance on the Employee Free Choice Act. Geoghegan spoke about his experiences campaigning for congress in Chicago, noting "how much people need a labor movement". He supports the Employee Free Choice Act, though he is skeptical it will be sufficient to bring the labor movement back. Meanwhile, Tompkins County has passed a resolution in favor of the legislation.
