Tell the Senate to Support Workers

America 's workers need your help, and the Senators who represent us must hear your voice. Please consider sending a letter to your Senator to urge support for the Employee Free Choice Act.

It was great news when the Employee Free Choice Act passed the U.S. House of Representatives this spring, thanks in no small part to the thousands who lobbied their Representatives for support. Soon, the Senate will consider and vote on this important legislation. The proposed law would address years of corporate management's abuse of our labor laws by protecting the rights of workers to form unions and enacting stronger penalties for company management when they try to interfere.

TTD President Edward Wytkind said in a letter to Congress "when workers are able to form unions and engage in collective bargaining, they enjoy higher wages, greater access to health care, greater retirement security, more time with their families, as well as greater dignity and respect on the job."

Union membership is one of the best ways to reach a higher standard of living. If passed, the Employee Free Choice Act will make unions an option for millions more.

Make your voice heard for today's workers and tomorrow's union members .
