Employee Free Choice Act Introduced

» Press release
» Statements from supporting partners

Today, Representative George Miller and Senator Tom Harkin introduced the Employee Free Choice Act, legislation giving workers a fair and direct path to form unions. The Employee Free Choice Act will restore America's promise to its workers – that if you work hard and play by the rules, you deserve a voice in the workplace.

Fittingly, the bill introduction followed a Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee hearing titled "Rebuilding Economic Security: Empowering Workers to Restore the Middle Class." History has shown that when workers have a voice in their workplaces, the middle class is strengthened and our nation prospers.

The Employee Free Choice Act has support from the White House, a majority in both houses of Congress, and the American public. Now it’s time to keep working to make sure it is passed and President Obama can sign it in to law!
