Résumé anglais Voice! The debate on the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) and the conservative fight for democracy in the workplace. This article is a first step toward a more thorough history of the weakening of trade-unions in the U.S. Based both on the history of representations and political history, it first analyzes debates on the Employee Free Choice Act in 2008-09. Since the 1950s, conservatives have fought against the double legacy of the New Deal – democracy of the workplace and union freedoms – and have promoted another view of democracy at work. For businessmen, as well as conservative lawyers and economists, each employee should have a free access to jobs and working conditions should be the result of an individual bargaining without trade-union pressures. This ideological fight hides a fundamental political stake: the funding of elections.
