A growing, bipartisan coalition of policymakers supports the Employee Free Choice Act, proposed legislation that would ensure that workers have a free choice and a fair chance to form a union. Simply put, the Employee Free Choice Act will allow workers to once again choose to form unions without the fear of being fired.
The legislation would:
Give workers a fair and direct path to form unions through majority sign-up
Help employees secure a contract with their employer in a reasonable period of time
Toughen penalties against employers who violate their workers' rights.

This battle will be won or lost in the Senate. Call or write to thank your members if they are
co-sponsors of the Employee Free Choice Act... If not, encourage them to support it.
