Momentum Grows as New Groups Join Employee Free Choice Coalition

by Seth Michaels, Apr 27, 2009

In recent days, more than a dozen new groups, including organizations from the civil rights and government accountability communities, have signed on in support of the Employee Free Choice Act.

The new groups join a broad coalition for workers’ freedom to form unions and bargain.

The coalition now includes more than 180 organizations supporting the legislation (H.B. 1409 and S. 560) introduced in March to allow workers to form unions when a majority indicates their desire to do so. Welcome to the new organizations in the coalition:

• American Association for Justice
• Barbara Chambers Children Center
• Carlos Rosario International Public Charter School
• Central American Resources Center
• Customs Employees Against Discrimination Association
• DC Students for a Democratic Society
• Empower DC
• Government Accountability Project
• Korean American Association of Maryland
• Mexicans Without Borders/Mexicanos sin Fronteras
• National Capitol Immigrant Coalition
• Organic Consumers Association
• Ramsay Merriam Fund
