Proponents of EFCA say union membership would grow by 1.5 million members every year over the next 10 to 15 years under EFCA.
But EFCA opponents point to the new study to back their argument that EFCA will hurt the economy.
"Job losses attributable to the passage of the employee free choice act in that respect would be equal to the entire population of the city of Boston," said Phil Miscamarra, a legal counsel with the Alliance to Save Main Street Jobs.
A 1.5 million member increase would "lead to the loss of 600,000 jobs by the end of the following year," he said.
Layne-Farrar's study entitled: "An Empirical Assessment of the Employee Free Choice Act: The Economic Implications" concludes that EFCA's economic impact would be felt within a year of becoming law.
