Employee Free Choice Act Updates as of May 28, 2009

 

 

 

The elections in November put working family activists - together with the new leaders we elected - closer to the promise of an economy that works for all of us. One of the ways to collect on that promise is by workers being able to freely form and join a union and have a voice at work. We can do this with the passage of the Employee Free Choice Act, which will restore workers' freedom to bargain for better health care, secure pensions and fair wages.

Help spread the truth about the Employee Free Choice Act

    The Senate Budget Committee, chaired by Senator Kent Conrad, wants to cut $4 billion from the  

     president’s International Affairs Budget—the part of the budget funding almost all of our anti-poverty

       work, from fighting global AIDS to making sure the hunger crisis doesn’t turn into a starvation crisis.

 

 This is an outrage we don’t have to stand for. A bipartisan amendment now in the Senate would restore the

     full $4 billion, and it’s going to be voted on as soon as Wednesday. Your voice, as a constituent and a

                       ONE member, is the most powerful force there is in support of this amendment.
