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 Kansas Workbeat Action Center.The short explanation of this alert was: Something is wrong when a worker is fired or discriminated against every 23 minutes in this country for exercising their freedom of association.* By law, employers aren’t supposed to intimidate, coerce or fire employees for trying to form a union. Yet in reality, one in four employers fire pro-union employees during organizing campaigns. Is this American democracy? Tell President Bush America can do better. *According to 1993-2003 NLRB Annual Reports, an average of 22,633 workers per year received backpay from their employer. The NLRB orders employers to award backpay to workers they illegally fired, demoted, laid off, suspended without pay, or denied work as a result of their union activity.
