Why This Is Important

According to the AFL-CIO, "The Employee Free Choice Act (H.R. 800, S. 1041), supported by a bipartisan coalition in Congress, would enable working people to bargain for better wages, benefits and working conditions by restoring workers’ freedom to choose for themselves whether to join a union. It would: Establish stronger penalties for violation of employee rights when workers seek to form a union and during first-contract negotiations. Provide mediation and arbitration for first-contract disputes (PDF). Allow employees to form unions by signing cards authorizing union representation."

Support the Employee Free Choice Act!

Dear President & Congress

<em>I urge you to enact the Employee Free Choice Act immediately. This crucial legislation will protect workers&rsquo; freedom to choose a union and bargain, without management intimidation. Allowing more workers to freely join unions and bargain with their employers will help rebuild the middle class by expanding health care, improving retirement security and raising the standard of living for America&rsquo;s working families. My bargaining rights are worth working for and voting for!</em>
