The next few weeks and months are critical in the fight to enact the Employee Free Choice Act.  We believe it is likely the U.S. Senate will take up the legislation soon after Al Franken is seated.  

Please consider writing and placing a pro-Employee Free Choice Act op ed during the next 4-6 weeks. To help you, a fact sheet entitled “How to Submit Op-Ed Articles and Letters to the Editor” has been uploaded to our Employee Free Choice Act page. Click on the "What You Can Do" link to find it.

If you have any questions about what to write, please contact Sheldon Friedman, Research Coordinator, AFL-CIO Voice@Work Campaign. (Or you can call him at 202-637-5310)
