EMPLOYEE FREE CHOICE ACT

Find out about why unions are pushing the Employee Free Choice Act. For those of us in the entertainment industry where intimidation of workers trying to organize has been rampant. Ask those in the Sports industry who organized in the mid 90's - organizing is no joke.

Once when working a non-union job I tried to get back some comp time. The executive producer just looked up from his papers and said "Don't you realize there are a plane load of freelancers circling above us who want your job?" I had been working 12 hour days for the last two months. My son had been born the year before.

These folks may not be in the same industry that we are but they have similar issues. Take a look this is a good explanation of the Employee Free Choice Act.

They organized and defended their unions maing it possible for many of us to enter the middle class.

The middle class is being pushed to the curb with rising costs, falling retirement funds, foreclosures , myopic managers and quick buck artists at every turn. We have endured eight years of relentless attacks on the middle class that was created on the shoulders of organized labor. listen to the stories of workers in blue collar, white collar and no collar jobs. If you close your eyes you can see yourself, unionized and holding on unorganized and with out hope. Perhaps you bought into the "dog eat dog" mentality but what will happen when you become the underdog. Preserve your right to organize. Support the EMPLOYEE FREE CHOICE ACT!
