At least five states - Arizona, Arkansas, Missouri, Nevada, and Utah - are working towards placing constitutional amendments on their 2010 ballots to override the anticipated federal action. State-level legislation would run into a program vis-a-vis federal legislation because of the Preemption Doctrine.

federal legislation tops state legislation - but state constitution (as a general statement) will always top federal legislation.

Good to know that at least a few states believe the individual has more rights than a union.

Here’s an idea:
I belong to a union (IBEW), and I will inform my local that id EFCA passes, I will get out. (I live in a right-to-work state; Arkansas).
We need to get a nationwide campaign going to do just this, and where better to start some activism than FreeRepublic. So, if there are any union members here, write a letter to the editor of your papers threatening to get out of unions if EFCA passes. Let’s see what happens...

Given who will be setting federal law, I’d recommend only following state law.

Should the Employee Free Choice Act be passed, I expect that one of the unanticipated consequences will be the migration to right-to-work states of facilities of those companies against which the unions choose to use the card check procedure. This will in-turn result in a reduction in union membership.
