Re: Workers give UMaine pep talk on free choice

[The Employee Free Choice Act] will only open the door to deception, harassment or worse. This can still come back in another form in another bill. Reaching out to your elected officials is the best way to defeat this. It’s not over yet. I was on the U.S. Chamber’s site and found this letter you can send to the folks in Congress if you have a spare moment. We need to make sure every worker has the freedom to choose what’s best for themselves and their families.

Re: DanR’s comment on Employee Free Choice Act

Have you ever spoken with a worker who was involved in an organizing drive at a workplace? The “deception, harassment or worse” are not by the hands of the union, but by management. Look at the numbers put out by the Department of Labor regarding unfair labor practices.

Do you really want to promote a letter writing campaign by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce? Who do you think they represent, big business, or us, the working class of this country?
