The Employee Free Choice Act labor law reform was introduced in Congress Tuesday. AFL-CIO President John Sweeney says it was a banner day for working Americans. The reform makes it easier for workers to join unions without employer intimidation and pressure that are often used in NLRB union organizing elections today. Sweeney says the AFL-CIO is confident the Employee Free Choice Act is going to become the law of the land. The labor federation says the introduction of this bill so early is a strong message that Congress is ready to move forward to help working Americans.

1. FACT: The Employee Free Choice Act does NOT abolish the NLRB (secret ballot)

The secret ballot process would STILL be available. It’s about choice!

The Employee Free Choice Act KEEPS the secret ballot but also allows majority sign-up elections to form a union.

Lying republicans, (and some democrats) read the fucking bill!

The slimy republicans, corporations & other regressive & repressive groups have and will continue to lie and distort the facts about this excellent bill.

Help support workers, workers unions are the only united voice against massive corporate money, media & their lobbyist.
