Mother's Advertisement
In the June issues of some consumer car enthuses magazines, Mother’s Product ran an advertisement that is misleading and offensive to the car wash industry. WCA President, Jerry Nix, wrote a letter to the editors of these magazines and encourages you to do the same. The letter may never be published, but the education it provides the publishers of these magazines may play a role in how they do business. Jerry also wrote a letter to Mother's CEO Dennis Holloway and on May 20th, WCA received a response.

On March 10, 2009, Senators Tom Harkin (D-IA) and Ted Kennedy (D-MA) and Representative George Miller (D-CA) formally introduced the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) in the 111th Congress (H.R. 1409, S. 560). This is an issue all employers must be aware of and be prepared to discuss with their legislators. Don’t be left in the dark on this issue! WCA legal member benefit provider Gary Bethel, attorney at Little Mendelson, released an update with important points to take away from this bill.
To read Gary’s message, log in and visit the Employment Law Update page under Members Only.
More information regarding the Employee Free Choice Act Card Check bill can be found on the US Chamber of Commerce Web site.
