About the Campaign
What is the Employee Free Choice Act?
The Employee Free Choice Act is critical legislation that would help protect the rights of America’s workers to organize and form unions. The law would give more workers a way to form unions and negotiate for better wages, health care and working conditions.
Why do we need it?
A robust middle class. Economic growth and shared prosperity. The American Dream. None are possible without good union jobs that protect workers.
Today’s workplaces are tilted in favor of lavishly-paid CEOs, who get golden parachutes while hardworking families struggle to get by. Workers need a fair shake and a chance to get ahead – but employers intimidate, harass, and even fire workers who try to form a union.
The Employee Free Choice Act can restore the balance, giving more workers a chance to form unions and get better health care, job security, and benefits – and an opportunity to pursue their dreams.
What are we doing about it?
We’re teaming up with hundreds of groups and unions to launch a massive campaign to show the new President and Congress that there are one million people who want to give hardworking families a chance to get ahead by passing the Employee Free Choice Act.
One million people demanding a fair deal for workers. It’s a powerful grassroots call for change.
