EMPLOYEE FREE CHOICE ACT:

In addition to raising the minimum wage, the labor movement is advocating for new legislation that will make it easier for workers to organize unions. This legislation, the Employee Free Choice Act, will require employers to recognize a union when a majority of the workers sign union cards. It will also help to ensure that workers are able to get a first contract, by providing mediation and arbitration if the union and the employer aren't able to reach an agreement. The Act will also increase penalties on employers who violate the rights of employees who are trying to organize. The legislation passed the House. Click here to find out more.
