Campaign Unavailable We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Washington State Labor Council.The short explanation of this alert was: UPDATE: House leaders didn't bring the Worker Freedom Act up for a vote before the March 14th cutoff deadline, so the issue appears to be dead for this session. However, this will be priority legislation for next year. So feel free to go ahead and read this Action Alert (which was posted prior to the bill's 2007 demise) and send the revised message below to your legislators that says, "WE WILL BE BACK IN 2008 TO FIGHT FOR WORKERS' FREEDOM!"
--------------
No worker should have to choose between supporting unionization and losing their job. Yet according to the National Labor Relations Board, a worker is illegally fired or penalized every 17 minutes of the day in That's why we need the Worker Freedom Act! It gives workers the freedom to choose whether they want to attend their employers' so-called "captive audience" meetings about unionization. Employees should not be forced -- under threat of loss of their livelihoods -- to attend meetings where they are subjected to indoctrination by their employer on issues unrelated to their work or job performance. The Worker Freedom Act would simply ensure workers' right to walk away. If you would like to view details on this alert, please visit here. |
