On April 22, delegations of Jobs with Justice leaders went to Washington, DC to deliver a message to Senators in all the states where JwJ coalitions exist that community leaders, faith leaders, and workers support Employee Free Choice Act.  Let these Senators know that you stand behind them! 

From a state without a JwJ coalition?  Click here to sign on to support the Employee Free Choice Act or click here to sign up your organization as an endorser.

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

Today your office met with faith, community leaders, and workers from our state to talk about the Employee Free Choice Act. I am writing to add my voice to theirs and to call on your support for this important piece of legislation.

The economic tailspin has put the middle class, our country's backbone, in peril. Rising health care costs, home foreclosures, stagnant wages, and shrinking retirement plans are all taking a huge toll.

To revive the economy and rebuild the middle class in the long term, we need to empower workers to negotiate for better wages and benefits.

The Employee Free Choice Act will do just that - allowing workers to form a union when a majority of them want one. It will also stiffen penalties on employers who harass, intimidate, and fire workers for their support of a union.

The Employee Free Choice Act is a critical piece of our economic recovery. I'm confident you'll continue to represent the best interests of workers in your district by supporting it.

Sincerely,

Campaign Launched:
