Spread the Word About The Employee Free Choice Act
- America's working people are struggling to make ends meet, and our middle class is disappearing. The best opportunity we have to get ahead economically is by uniting with co-workers to bargain with our employers for better wages, benefits and working conditions.
- More than half of U.S. workers - nearly 60 million - say they would join a union right now if they could.
- But the current system for forming unions and bargaining is broken. Every day, corporations intimidate, harass, coerce and even fire people who try to organize unions and bargain. This is an urgent crisis, blocking our free will and our ability to get ahead.
- The system has to be changed to give all working people the freedom to make our own choice about whether to have a union and bargain for better wages and benefits.
- The Employee Free Choice Act would restore workers freedom to form unions and bargain by (1) strengthening penalties for companies that coerce or intimidate employees,(2) establishing mediation and binding arbitration when the employer and workers cannot agree on a first contract and (3)enabling employees to form unions when a majority signs authorization cards.
Although proponants of The Employee Free Choice Act claim that this legislation is un-American because it would take away the workers right to have a secret ballot election. This my be an affective way to stoke the anger of any blue blooded American, it is simply not true. The chart above clearly shows the difference between a Federal Election and a Union Representation Election. The two are clearly not equal in many respects.
