About this Petition Petition Letter

Take Action: The Employee Free Choice Act must pass! The Employee Free Choice Act must pass!

In this economy, middle class families struggle while CEOs continue to rake in lavish salaries and bonuses. The Employee Free Choice Act would help level the playing field.

This important bill would give more workers the chance to form unions and bargain for better pay, benefits and job security. And that will make things better for all of us.

But corporate interests are working hard to protect the status quo. To defeat the greedy CEOs and anti-union front groups fighting this bill, we need to ratchet up our grassroots efforts. Send the letter below and ask Congress to pass the Employee Free Choice Act.

Please Support Employee Free Choice Act

Dear Representative

I am writing to voice my support for the Employee Free Choice Act (S. 560, H.R. 1409) which has just been reintroduced in Congress. If you haven't become a co-sponsor, I urge you to do so. And if you're already a co-sponsor, I hope you'll do everything you can to encourage your colleagues to get on board.

The economic tailspin has put the middle class, our country's backbone, in peril. Rising health care costs, home foreclosures, stagnant wages, and shrinking retirement plans are all taking a huge toll.

To revive the economy and rebuild the middle class in the long term, we need to empower workers to bargain for better wages and benefits.

The Employee Free Choice Act will do just that - allowing workers to form a union when a majority of them want one. It will also stiffen penalties on employers who harass, intimidate, and fire workers for their support of a union.

The Employee Free Choice Act is a critical piece of our economic recovery. I'm confident you'll continue to represent the best interests of workers in your district by supporting it.
