Employee Free Choice Act Update

03/30/2009 - 8:27am

The Employee Free Choice Act is going to get some major “face time” with the American public in the coming weeks.

A new grassroots campaign, “Faces of the Employee Free Choice Act,” gets under way next week and coincides with stepped-up mobilization action planned for the upcoming congressional Easter recess.

The “Faces” campaign features new billboards and building banners that will be displayed throughout Washington, D.C., and in states across the country. The billboards and 50-foot-tall building banners feature union members, along with a quote from the workers about why the Employee Free Choice Act is vital for all workers to restore their freedom to form unions and bargain for a better life.

In the banner adorning the AFL-CIO building in Washington, D.C., Chinazo Okolo, a member of Communications Workers of America (CWA) Local 3403, says she wants the Employee Free Choice Act to become law because

I want the economy to work for everyone.

Next week, the workers featured on the banners and billboards will join union leaders, Sens. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), Rep. George Miller (D-Calif.), “West Wing” actors Martin Sheen and Bradley Whitford on Capitol Hill to highlight the new campaign.

Meanwhile around the country, activists are gearing up for the April 6-17 congressional recess, arranging visits with their lawmakers in their home offices and planning events to build support for the Employee Free Choice Act. Be sure to check back for updates on those grassroots actions.
