Union members ask...
We won the election. Now what?
Union members worked hard ...
Union members worked hard and took Step 1 to turn around America by electing Barack Obama and enlarging our worker-friendly majority in Congress.
NOW COMES STEP 2
We are facing the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. We need immediate steps to create good jobs and strengthen our economy. But they won’t produce shared prosperity or rebuild the middle class unless we pass the Employee Free Choice Act to restore workers’ freedom to bargain for a better life. It will allow workers to form a union if a majority wants one, increase penalties for companies that abuse workers who are exercising their freedom to organize and guarantee that workers who form unions can get a contract.
Big Business 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 CEOs can block workers from having the security of a contract.
But WITH YOUR HELP, we will fight back – and win, just like we won the 2008 elections.
It will take every one of us.
It will be worth it.
