More Religious Groups Back Employee Free Choice
Many religious leaders throughout the country have directly experienced working with women and men struggling for a voice on the job, fair wages and benefits, and security for their families. The Employee Free Choice Act will allow workers real freedom to form and join unions without fear or intimidation—a big reason why the list of religious supporters for the bill keeps growing.
The latest to sign on in support of the Employee Free Choice Act include a wide diversity of religious beliefs. The range of faiths represented illustrates the widespread support for the bill, which is backed by 73 percent of Americans.
For example, the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA, which represents more than 100,000 local congregations and 45 million persons in the United States, has endorsed the bill.
