Now that this historic election is over, we have an unprecedented opportunity to restore our struggling middle class with good, union jobs. President-elect Barack Obama is ready to lead the charge:

I've fought to pass the Employee Free Choice Act in the Senate. And I will make it the law of the land when I'm President of the United States of America.

- President-elect Barack Obama, 4/2/08.

This bill has been before Congress in the past, but with a new Congress and support from Barack Obama, 2009 represents our best chance in years to advance this legislation. Our lawmakers are setting their agenda as we speak – they need to hear from you.

Watch President-elect Obama talk about the Employee Free Choice Act, then sign the petition in support of the bill.
