Jane Hamsher writes at Campaign Silo "New compromise measures from Diane Feinstein and Arlen Specter may pave the way for the passage of the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA)."

According to the National Journal:

[Diane Feinstein's] proposal would replace the card-check provision, which would allow workers to unionize if a majority signed authorization cards and strip a company's ability to demand a secret ballot election. "It's a secret ballot that would be mailed in ... just like an absentee ballot. The individual could take it home and mail it in," Feinstein said. If a majority mailed the ballots to the National Labor Relations Board, the NLRB would recognize the union.

DENVER -- U.S. Rep. Harry Mitchell is attending two conventions Wednesday - 900 miles from each other. Mitchell started off the day at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, to which he is a superdelegate, but will fly to Phoenix to address the American Legion National Convention in Phoenix later in the day, before returning to Denver for the remainder of the DNC.
