Society for the Study of Social Problems Supports Employee Free Choice
Add another organization to the long lists of groups supporting the Employee Free Choice Act. The Society for the Study of Social Problems (SSSP), an interdisciplinary community of academics and practitioners of social policy, has just announced their support of proposed labor law that would protect workers’ fundamental right to form a union and bargain.
At the SSSP annual meeting this month, delegates approved a resolution demanding quick passage of the Employee Free Choice Act to rebuild fairness in the workplace and a stronger economy.
The resolution reads, in part:
Union membership provides workers better wages and benefits, and protection from discrimination and unsafe workplaces, while benefiting whole communities by strengthening tax bases, promoting equal treatment and enhancing civic participation.
