Call Your Senator Today

On Thursday, June 21, the Senate will vote on the 
Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA).

Please call your Senators NOW and ask them to vote 
YES on the Employee Free Choice Act (S.1041)

Call the U.S. Capitol switchboard at 1-800-774-8941 and ask for the offices of your two senators.

 

EFCA will restore workers’ freedom to collectively bargain for a better life. Explain to your senators that buy voting Yes on EFCA it will:

  1. strengthen penalties for companies that coerce or intimidate employees;
  2. establish mediation and binding arbitration when the employer and workers cannot agree on a first contract; and
  3. enable employees to form unions when a majority express their decision to join the union by signing authorization cards
