Support The Employee Free Choice Act

It’s Time to Restore Workers’ Freedom to Form Unions

TAKE ACTION NOW AND SUPPORT THE EMPLOYEE FREE CHOICE ACT BY CLICKING HERE

America’s working people are struggling to make ends meet these days and our middle class is disappearing. The best opportunity working people have to get ahead economically is by uniting to bargain with their employers for better wages and benefits. Recent research has shown that some 60 million U.S. workers would join a union if they could.

But the current system for forming unions and bargaining is broken. Every day, corporations deny workers the freedom to decide for themselves whether to form unions to bargain for a better life. They routinely intimidate, harass, coerce and even fire workers who try to form unions and bargain for economic well-being. 

The Employee Free Choice Act (H.R. 800, S. 1041), supported by a bipartisan coalition in Congress, would level the playing field for workers and employers and help rebuild America’s middle class.

If you like to learn more about the Act, please follow this link to the AFL-CIO's information center.
