Passing EFCA will not be easy, but we can
do it with your help. Powerful business interests have launched
a multimillion-dollar campaign to defeat us. As of
today, 40 senators and 220 representatives have signed on
as co-sponsors.
Forming a union allows workers to
collectively bargain for healthcare, pensions, fair wages and
better working conditions. This is the best opportunity working
people have to improve their lives and the lives of their
families.
Your help today will make a huge
difference for swift consideration of the Employee Free Choice
Act. We do not know what the next few weeks will bring. We need
to stand together and fight. Be on the lookout for future
actions and updates.
Forward this message to your family and co-workers, so they
can participate in this campaign.
