Late Thursday afternoon,
the U. S. Congress finally took their first step to enacting real
labor law reform. After months of organizing, debating, pressing,
writing, calling and perservering
— You
have won a major battle for workers and our
union! The EmploFeeyee Free Choice Act (EFCA) is now on its
way to the U.S. Senate and
workers are one step closer to being able to organize without
being put through months of illegal intimidation, threats,
reassignments and firings. They are also one step closer to being
guaranteed a first contract if they determine they want a
union.Your hard work, leadership and determination withstood an
onslaught from corporate America and President Bush’s last minute
promise of a veto. You stood firm all through the last congress
when the anti-union leadership would not even hold a hearing on
EFCA, much less allow it to be voted on. Rapid Response led the
way in this fight and you should be extremely proud of your
efforts. Final vote listing is below.
This fight now moves to
the U.S. Senate and it will be a long, brutal battle there as
well. Also, with th’ê president’s promise to veto the bill, we
have to make sure we get support from as many senators as
possible. Keep watching Rapid Response for more information and
keep calling your senators if they are not signed onto the bill
yet as a co-sponsor. You can still reach your U.S. senators by
calling 1-866-340-9279.
