A robust middle class. Economic growth
and shared prosperity. The American Dream.
None are possible unless workers have the
free choice to bargain for a better life—in
their workplaces and in our nation.
That’s why we need the Employee Free
Choice Act—critical legislation that would
restore workers' freedom to form unions and
bargain for better wages, health care, and
working conditions—and have a voice in our
economy.
We’re teaming up with hundreds of
organizations and unions to launch a massive
campaign—the
Million Member Mobilization.
We're going to show the new President and
Congress that there are one million people
who want to give hardworking families a
chance to get ahead. Can you be one of the
first?
Click here to sign the petition for the
Employee Free Choice Act.
Why is this bill so important? It's
plain as day: workers are struggling in this
country.
The playing field is tilted in favor of
lavishly-paid CEOs, who get golden
parachutes while middle class families get
stuck holding the bag. The Employee Free
Choice Act can restore the balance, giving
workers freedom to form unions and bargain
for better a life – and an opportunity to
pursue their dreams.
Corporate interests are fighting the
Employee Free Choice Act with everything
they’ve got. They’re protecting the status
quo—a rigged system which allows them to
intimidate, harass, and even fire workers
who try to form a union. We're not talking
about isolated incidents: 30% of employers
illegally fire workers who try to form
unions.
It’s time our economy worked for
everyone again. It’s time for Congress to
pass the Employee Free Choice Act.
Add your name to the petition and add
your voice to this growing movement.

Together, we can change the law, change
the economy, and change our futures for the
better.
