A BILL

To amend the National Labor Relations Act to establish an efficient system to enable employees to
form, join, or assist labor organizations, to provide for mandatory injunctions for unfair labor
practices during organizing efforts, and for other purposes.

This is the last push before the U.S. House of Representatives votes Thursday March 1, 2007 on the Employee Free Choice Act—the most important legislation in 70 years to ensure our freedom to bargain for better wages, benefits and working conditions.

The Employee Free Choice Act would restore workers’ freedom to make our own choice about
whether to have a union so we can bargain for a better life—without interference from management. In theory, we’ve had that right for decades. But, in fact, the system for forming unions and bargaining is broken. Employers routinely coerce, intimidate, harass, threaten and even fire workers who dare to try.

Your representative has a choice to make this Thursday—to support working families or to do the
bidding of corporations that want to continue blocking our freedom to bargain for a better life.

Today, only 38 percent of Americans feel we’re getting ahead financially—and less than a quarter of us believe our children’s generation will be better off. Being able to bargain collectively through a union provides the best way for working people to get ahead economically, to ensure a better future for our children and to rebuild America’s middle class. CEOs may be getting contracts that protect their pay and benefits—but they fight tooth and nail to keep us from having the same opportunity.
