Unions, Business, and Economic Growth 		Print
In the heat of the summer months, American Rights at Work and our allies are keeping the Employee Free Choice Act in the minds of members of Congress.  We’ve produced two new fact sheets on the ways unions help build healthy economies and a skilled workforce:

Unions and Other Community Groups Benefit Local Economic Development
  • Unions are partnering with businesses in their communities to prevent job losses and preserve manufacturing jobs in this tough economy.
  • Investing in worker pension funds, unions are financing private ventures to enhance Gulf Coast revitalization and rebuild area communities.
Unions on the Cutting Edge: A Workforce Trained for the 21st Century
  • Working with hospitals, unions are training healthcare workers so patients receive the best care possible.
  • Apprenticeship programs provided by unions are enhancing the skills of workers in the construction and building trades, increasing the pool of qualified employees for this important sector of the U.S. economy.
Without a doubt, unions are helping workers weather the current economic storm. The Employee Free Choice Act will make it possible for more workers to join together for a voice in the workplace, paving the path for long-term, sustainable economic growth.
