Join us for a Community Briefing on the Employee Free Choice Act…
Rebuilding America with Good Jobs
Without a doubt, working families are facing the greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression. Yet, at this time there is a very important piece of legislation that has the potential to help these families survive these tough times and begin the rebuilding of our middle class. Known as the Employee Free Choice Act, this Federal legislation would allow workers to earn better wages, health care and retirement benefits by signing a card to join a union.
Join us on April 15th to learn more about this legislation and how you and your organization can play a part in this historic effort.
