Bayh will have to ‘evaluate’ card check stance

Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.) will evaluate “card check” legislation when a final bill emerges, his office said Thursday.

A previous sponsor of the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), Bayh’s spokesman told the Howey Political Report that the Indiana centrist would withhold judgment on the latest iteration of the bill.

“Sen. Bayh will evaluate it when there is something to analyze,” spokesman Brian Weiss told the newsletter. “He did not co-sponsor EFCA this year because, although he supports meaningful labor law reform, he felt changes needed to be made.
