Workers’ Right to Unionize: Now Is the Time to Act

February 28, 2007

UPDATE: Read President McEntee's letter urging Congress to support the Employee Free Choice Act (H.R. 800) Employer intimidation and harassment are all too common in the American workplace, especially if it involves workers attempting to exercise their legal right to unionize. Enter the Employee Free Choice Act. Accurately described by the Washington Post as “a shield against corporate bullying,” the initiative allows employees to join a union simply by signing a membership card, avoiding protracted battles with management. This Thursday, the full House will vote on the EFCA. Now is the time to act and tell your congressperson to support workers’ freedom to form a union and bargain for a better life for their families.
