What's At Stake?Tell Gov. Pawlenty to Help Rebuild the Middle ClassAmerica'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. 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 and bargain for a better life. They routinely intimidate, harass, coerce and fire workers who try to form unions and bargain for their economic well-being. The Employee Free Choice Act, supported by a bipartisan coalition in Congress, would level the playing field for workers and employers and help rebuild America's middle class.
