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.
