Fix our economy: Support the Employee Free Choice Act

Northside Action for Justice endorses the Employee Free Choice Act as one of the key changes needed to get our country and economy headed in the right direction.

NA4J believes we need an economy that works for everyone, not just the corporate executives or the top 1% whose incomes have exploded in the past decade, while regular folks have been squeezed. We need good, green jobs, affordable housing and health care for all, real oversight and accountability for big banks and more.

But the Employee Free Choice Act is one central element in challenging corporate greed, because it makes it easier for workers to organize and bargain collectively, without getting threatened or fired by their bosses.

Sign the petition for Employee Free Choice Act.

When workers can bargain collectively, they have a chance to get a fair wage, jobs security and health benefits, which stabilizes communities and families.

Few people know that companies spend a lot of time and money -- and break a lot of laws -- trying to keep their employees from organizing. Nearly one out of five workers active in an organizing drive is illegally fired.

Community, religious and student leaders are joining the broad coalition supporting worker rights.
