In yet another blow signaling a need for a compromise of the Employee Free Choice Act, Senator Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) announced this past Monday that she will not support the union-backed legislation–at least not in its current form.

Meanwhile, Senator Mark Warner (D-Vir.) seems to be wavering.  Warner announced that he backs a vote for cloture, but he said he will evaluate his stance on the measure after EFCA has reached the floor.

Workplace Prof Blog recently reported on a story floating around about the compromise operations that have already begun in an effort to get EFCA passed through Congress.
