Give The Working Class The Power to Organize

April 3, 2009 Front Page 1 Comment

The history of unions in America is a turbulent one. These organizations, formed to ensure the vitality of the working class, have faced abuse, brutality, and intimidation since their earliest inception.

The balance of power in our country is incredibly off kilter. If corporations can use their vast resources to lobby, pressure, and coerce our legislatures into passing favorable measures, then every man should have the power to band with his fellow workers to ensure the rights of the common man are upheld.

Join the Employee Free Choice Act campaign at www.employeefreechoiceact.org and call your Congressional member today and ask them to support this legislation.

    I understand how the Employee Free Act will benefit working class workers who are exploited by conglomerates, but how will it be advantageous for unemployed college graduates who are looking for jobs? Will being part of a union help or conflict with people looking for jobs during these economically troublesome times?
