Employee Free Choice Campaign
                                       

 CWA's campaign to get the Employee Free Choice Act passed has hit high gear!

Now that we have elected Barack Obama and union-friendly legislators in many key states it is important to remind them what is high priority for union workers! 

CWA is leading a powerful mobilization effort today to change that by making sure that Congress is ready to move forward on Employee Free Choice Act, a crucial bill that would allow workers to organize free of employer intimidation. It's up to us to make sure this legislation makes it through the United States Senate with strong support.  You can make a real difference by calling your Senators right now and urging them to support the Employee Free Choice Act. 

Senator Mark Warner 
B40C Dirksen Senate Office Building
Washington, DC  20510
phone  202-224-2023

Senator Jim Webb
144 Russell Senate Office Building
Washington, DC  20510
phone  202-224-4024
toll free  866-507-1570

 And here is an example of what you can say to the person who answers the phone:

"Hello, my name is __________ and I am one of the Senator's constituents. I'm calling to ask the Senator to stand with working Americans by supporting the Employee Free Choice Act.

This bill will help protect workers' rights and strengthen the middle class. Will the Senator support this legislation?"

Please be part of today's mobilization effort. Call your Senators, and then click here to let us know you called:

This legislation is the single most important way to protect workers from companies who intimidate, mislead, threaten, and even fire their employees during the organizing process. The bill would let workers choose between a vote and a simple majority sign-up system to decide on having union representation in their workplace, and restoring fairness to a system that has been dominated by employers for far too long.

This information will be a huge help when CWA activists follow up with Senators in person next year. They'll know exactly how many CWA members have spoken out, and they'll be able to make an even stronger case for the lawmakers to support the Employee Free Choice Act.
