 One Million Mobilization for the Employee Free Choice Act

With your help, we will present the new President and Congress with one million signatures urging them to enact the Employee Free Choice Act. Add your name now.

 

   An Economic Stimulus that Works for Everyone

 

When people are free to join unions, the economy can work for everyone.

 

The Employee Free Choice Act:

  • Helps America's working families improve their standard of living. Workers in unions earn 30 percent higher wages and are 59 percent more likely to have employer-provided health insurance.
  • Fixes a broken system that gives corporations far too much power. When workers try and organize unions, they are often harassed and intimidated; 25 percent of companies unlawfully fire pro-union workers.
  • Restores fairness and the promise of the American Dream, with a robust middle class, economic growth, and shared prosperity.

Sample Letter for Campaign

Subject: Please add my name to the million mobilization

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

To: The New President & Congress:

I urge you to enact the Employee Free Choice Act immediately.

This crucial legislation will protect workers' freedom to choose a union and bargain, without management intimidation. Allowing more workers to freely join unions and bargain with their employers will help rebuild the middle class by expanding health care, improving retirement security, and raising the standard of living for American's working families. My bargaining rights are worth working for and voting for!

Sincerely,

Campaign Launched:

Background Information

The Employee Free Choice Act:

  • Helps America’s working families improve their standard of living. Workers in unions earn 30 percent higher wages and are 59 percent more likely to have employer-provided health insurance.
  • Fixes a broken system that gives corporations far too much power. When workers try and organize unions, they are often harassed and intimidated; 25 percent of companies unlawfully fire pro-union workers.
  • Restores fairness and the promise of the American Dream, with a robust middle class, economic growth, and shared prosperity.
  • Brings justice to workers like the ones at PriceRite, whose company owns and/or operates other union stores—but doesn’t want to let Price Rite workers in our community join the union.
  • Makes it easier for workers like those at PriceRite to join a union, so that they can have job security, a living wage, and affordable health care—because that’s not only good for workers, it’s good for our community.

It’s time our economy worked for everyone again.
