Dear Working Families e-Activist,
Forty-seven artists.
Oscar, Grammy, Emmy and Tony award winners and nominees.
Sitcom stars, character actors, musicians, comedians and
Broadway performers.
All union members.
All support the Employee Free Choice Act and say so
in this new
video.
People associate actors with
fame and glory. The truth is for a long time my union contract
was the reason I could support my family. That's why I support
the Employee Free Choice Act, because each worker, regardless of
their field, deserves the freedom to bargain for a contract, for
a better life. -- Actress Amy
Brenneman
As the performers say, this is not a red state issue. This is
not a blue state issue. It's a workers' issue.
It's time for Congress to pass the Employee Free Choice Act.
It's time the economy worked for everyone.
I've belonged to three unions
in my life, and every one gave me the freedom to bargain with my
co-workers for decent hours, benefits and safe conditions. If
all workers don't have the freedom to form unions, I don't see
how we can fix our economy. -- Actor and
comedian Jerry Stiller
Watch
the video. Share it with your family and friends. Together,
we can make America's economy work for working
people.
In solidarity,
The BCTGM E-Activist Network
