The Employee Free Choice Act

Now is the time to start strengthening our economy by taking immediate steps to create good jobs. For those new jobs to build prosperity for all of us and help rebuild the middle class, we have to increase every worker’s right to form and join a union. We need to pass the Employee Free Choice Act to give more workers the opportunity to bargain for a better life.

The Employee Free Choice Act will . . .

• Allow workers to form a union if a majority wants one.
• Increase penalties against companies who abuse workers trying to form a union.
• Guarantee that workers who form a union will get a contract.

Big Business and anti-union front groups are gearing up to spend $200 million to defeat the Employee Free Choice Act so corporations can keep all the power in the workplace and block workers from having the security of a contract. When the Employee Free Choice Act comes before Congress later this year, labor unions and our supporters will come under attack as never before.

We need to stand with the elected representatives who are on our side to let them know how much we appreciate their support. And we need to let our co-workers, families and friends know that the Employee Free Choice Act will protect the rights of workers while giving us the best opportunity to turn around our ailing economy, and help make that economy work for all of us.
