Employee Free Choice Act Hits the Airwaves Over Labor Day |
|
Members of Congress will be returning to Washington, D.C., next week, and they’ll get a reminder that America’s workers need the Employee Free Choice Act. The campaign to get the U.S. Senate and House to restore the freedom to form unions and bargain kicks off the fall with two TV ads.
The two ads, “We Don’t Ask” and “Fabric of America,” connect the Employee Free Choice Act to a healthier economy, where workers have a chance to join the middle class and get fair wages and benefits.
Produced by American Rights at Work, the ads will begin running on Labor Day around the country. In addition to the ads, supporters of the freedom to form unions will keep up their efforts calling, writing and speaking to members of Congress about the need for the Employee Free Choice Act. On Sept. 10, allies of workers from a broad coalition are coming to Washington from 15 states to ask their senators to pass the Employee Free Choice Act.
Kimberly Freeman, executive director of American Rights at Work, says the ads are part of a large grassroots effort to restore a stronger, fairer economy:
We are redoubling our efforts to show how the Employee Free Choice Act will rebuild the economy and restore workers’ rights. As lawmakers return from the August recess, they will be reminded that Americans see the Employee Free Choice Act as fundamental to meaningful labor law reform and creating an economy that works for everyone.

With your boss, Sweeeney, already giving up on the card check provision of the bill the bosses smell major bended knee and will be asking for provisions in this now Surrender Bill that will further ham string labor rather then to help in organizing.
Until labor gets off it’s knees, launches organizing strikes like that which built the AFL-CIO there will be no going forward. To do all this means dumping the present pack of labor faking traitors and placing leadership steeled in battles that are yet to come. Without an independent and socialist outlook any leadership forthcoming will be still born.
