Workers Are Organizing More Than 200 Events Promoting Passage Of Employee Free Choice Act

By Doug Cunningham

The AFL-CIO says working families and their unions will organize more than 200 events nationwide over the Memorial Day Congressional recess calling for swift passage of the Employee Free Choice Act. The labor law reform doesn’t yet have enough Senate votes to pass. Iowa Senator Tom Harkin is reportedly working on changing the bill without compromising its core principles in order to persuade enough fellow senators to vote for it. Meanwhile support for making it easier for workers to join unions is coming from a unlikely source – an international coalition of investors managing $372 billion in assets. The investors say the Employee Free Choice Act will help “appropriately rebalance” labor-management relations.
