Subject: Employee Free Choice Act--You Voted 'No'
Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,
I am extremely disappointed that you chose to vote against the Employee Free Choice Act--the most important legislation in 70 years to ensure working men and women have the freedom to form unions and bargain.
With this vote, you turned your back on working families and on America's middle class.
Today, only 38 percent of Americans feel we're getting ahead financially--and less than a quarter of us believe our children's generation will be better off. Being able to bargain collectively through a union provides the best way for working people to get ahead economically, to ensure a better future for our children and to rebuild America's middle class. But the current system for forming unions and bargaining is broken.
The Employee Free Choice Act would fix it and put employees and employers on a level playing field.
By opposing the Employee Free Choice Act, you sided with anti-worker corporations and front groups rather than the working people you are supposed to represent.
I could not be more disappointed.
Sincerely,
|
