Class Action’s April 2009 e-news asserts that labor unions have been the one institution that has consistently supported the economic and social aspirations of working-class people. The Employee Free Choice Act can help reclaim the American Dream by restoring workers’ freedom to form unions and bargain for a better life.
This spring there is a key piece of legislation which impacts the ability of people to form labor unions: The Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA). Find out the latest on the EFCA by clicking on www.americanrightsatwork.org/.
The current health care system in the U.S leaves large numbers of people, both employed and unemployed, without adequate health coverage. The “Medicare for All” (Single Payer) bill, which is supported by numerous unions, purports to expand health coverage to every person in the U.S. Find out the latest on the single payer bill by clicking on http://unionsforsinglepayerHR676.org.
