On Thursday, June 21, the Senate will vote on the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) Please call your Senators NOW and ask them to vote YES on the Employee Free Choice Act (S.1041)

EFCA will restore workers' freedom to collectively bargain for a better life.

Explain to your senators that buy voting Yes on EFCA it will: 1) strengthen penalties for companies that coerce or intimidate employees; 2) establish mediation and binding arbitration when the employer and workers cannot agree on a first contract; and 3) enable employees to form unions when a majority express their decision to join the union by signing authorization cards.

I support the employee free choice act. For the health of our economy and our democracy, unions must be empowered and effective.

Unions are what made America and stop the abuse of the american worker at the hands of the corporation. I support the employee free choice act.

Bullshit, moron. If 30% of workers want a secret ballot, they get a secret ballot under the EFCA. The employer doesn't give a shit whether a ballot is secret or not. He likes secret ballots only because they allow him one or two months time to intimidate workers, fire activists, and infect the workplace with anti-union propaganda.

Why the fuck do you even shoot your mouth off about this? What's in it for you? You ain't rich. You're a sell-out ass kisser of the rich.

EFCA= Civil Rights. Period!

EFCA will help all. Even those that do not want to join unions.

READ THE BILL! EFCA DOES NOT allow for secret ballots. Thats the point of the entire bill. Otherwise, EFCA is not necessary. READ THE BILL!

You want people to gain benefits of a Union but, not be a part of them? LMAO

Our pension fund is in great shape (80% funded) Nothing has been cut as a result. Wouldn't it have been great if the Republicans got their way and privatized social security? We'd be bailing that out too! Our Union won't be needing tax dollars to retire, unlike the vast majority of those who solely rely on 401k programs.

There is no secret ballot currently in place. Do your homework - read the Bill - and stop looking silly.

EFCA DOES allow for secret ballots.

Too many anti-Union people haven't taken the time to read the Bill.

[Gooodwitch]

If this was really to help workers, they would start with a secret ballot to begin with. These people are complaining because they get intimidated from employers. The EFCA won't change that.

If signing a card to get in is to great - then why not allow those wanting out just to sign a card??? Unions are a roach motel - easy to get in - impossible to get out.

It is not "Employee Free CHoice" - it is the "Union Boss Free Intimidation and Forced Dues Act".

Unions sure provided great job security for the auto industry, airlines, and others. Aren't the union pension funds now underfunded? Aren't they cutting benefits? Aren't they laying off their employees? What mis-representation.
