Look Who’s Trying to Kill Employee Free Choice Now

Over at Open Left, Adam Green asks if the US Chamber of Commerce is using bailout money to attack workers?  It certainly would appear that way, since the Chamber just launched a $1 million ad campaign in five states (Nebraska, Virginia, Louisiana, North Dakota and Colorado) targeting Senators who could be swing votes on the Employee Free Choice Act.  What we’re potentially seeing here is the government tag-teaming with anti-union activists and corporations like Bank of America and AIG to put a chokehold on Employee Free Choice.

Green has two ways to take action:

1) Join the Facebook group: “Petition: Chamber of Commerce Shouldn’t Use Bailout Money to Attack Workers.” (If not on Facebook, sign the petition here.)

2) Email top Chamber execs. Ask them if the Chamber is rejecting money from bailout recipients so that taxpayer funds aren’t used on these ads.

Chamber President Tom Donohue: tdonohue@uschamber.com

Executive Vice President David C. Chavern: dchavern@uschamber.com

Executive Vice President Bruce Josten: bjosten@uschamber.comShare what your email said on the Facebook group wall.

And you can visit the SIEU’s website to tell your Senator “Greed Must Go.”

    The "free choice act", is anything but free! It effectively takes away an employee's right to a secret ballot. It opens up the employee to coercive bullying by other employee's, and the Union.
    Everyone should read the "free choice act". I believe you will come away with the same objections I have with this bill.
