The Employee Free Choice Act Will Restore Workers Freedom to Join a Union and Bargain for A Better Life
On June 24 at noon in Stevens Point and on June 26 at noon in Sheboygan, local Wisconsin workers will hold grassroots events in support of the Employee Free Choice Act, which will restore workers' freedom to join a union and bargain for a better life.
With the Wisconsin economy in turmoil, passing the Employee Free Choice Act is crucial to rebuilding the middle class. It will allow workers to have a voice at work and to bargain collectively for higher wages, benefits, and job security. The bill would allow workers to join a union through majority sign up and take away the right of corporations to demand a ballot election, giving the choice of majority sign-up or an election to the workers.
Local workers will discuss the financial outlook for their communities and write letters to Sen. Herb Kohl, thanking him for his continued support of the Employee Free Choice Act.
