Make Your Voice Heard on Worker Rights

Every important issue working families won during the past 100 years came through the help of the unions they formed to win social justice for all. On paper, America’s workers have the right to form unions, but the laws protecting those rights are so broken that employers routinely block workers from exercising their own free will to form and join unions.

New legislation that was recently introduced with bipartisan support (H.R. 3619 and S. 1925) seeks to restore worker freedoms to form unions by ensuring that when a majority of workers decide to form a union, they can, making union protections and benefits more widely available to more working families.

The trade union movement launches a campaign to win this legislation on December 10, International Human Rights Day.

Some 45 million U.S. workers would form a union today if they had the chance, according to independent polling. But employers routinely harass, coerce, intimidate -- and even fire-workers to keep them from exercising their freedom to form a union. According to Cornell University research, one-quarter of employers illegally fire at least one worker during private sector union organizing campaigns.
