Video: A Workplace That's Seriously Out of Whack
Print

Let's face it. Something's wrong when CEOs rake in hundreds of times what their employees earn, and workers get the boot just for talking about unions.  It could almost be a bad joke if it weren't such a serious problem.

That's why we teamed up with the award-winning producers at Brave New Films to make this video about a workplace where employees work without benefits, pay is based on favoritism, and the CEO is the only one with a contract.

After you watch, we hope you take a minute to sign our petition for the Employee Free Choice Act.  

Here's the email we sent to our activists today:

Dear Friend,

Healthcare plan? Hand sanitizer.

Employee benefits package? Soda in the break room.

Welcome to a workplace that’s seriously out of whack:

Watch the video - then sign our petition!
