Firefighters, police
officers, and emergency medical service personnel are often the first
on the scene for emergencies big and small. But tens of thousands of
these public safety officers do not have the right to negotiate with
their employers, leaving them without a voice at work.
S. 2123 would ensure that all public safety officers have the
opportunity to meet with local officials to discuss their jobs and how
best to protect the public.
A critical vote on this bill could happen this week and your Senators need to hear from you NOW.
Ask your Senators to support the Public Safety Employer-Employee Cooperation Act (S. 2123).

Workers at Atria Senior Living are
being threatened and intimidated for trying to form a
union.
Caring for our nation's elderly is
an important job, and workers at Atria deserve a living wage, affordable
healthcare, and the training and support they need to do their jobs well. They
also have the right to a free and fair process to decide on forming a
union.
Workers at Atria
barely make ends meet, yet the highly successful senior living chain is affiliated with
a big Wall Street firm called Lazard that has the means to support them.
It's time to give
these Wall Street execs an earful! Tell the Wall Street
execs at Atria and Lazard to stop unionbusting and play
fair.

Many of us watched in horror last
summer as miners lost their lives in the Crandall Canyon mine
collapse in Utah, and before that, the disasters at Sago, Darby
and Aracoma mines. After multiple debacles, you’d
think the government would make mine safety a top
priority. Think again. Recent reports uncovered a huge
failure at the federal agency in charge of mine
safety.
The Mine Safety and Health
Administration (MSHA) failed to fine more than
4,000 safety & health violations over the last six
years for mines that broke regulations.
Richard Stickler, the man responsible
for mine safety in this country, needs some help.
We put
together some ideas for how Mr. Stickler can actually do his
job.
» Can you send a note to MSHA Administrator Richard Stickler?

This holiday season, FedEx Ground drivers will work extra
hard to deliver our gifts on time. They provide a
valuable service – but their bosses don't value them
enough to respect their rights.
For a corporation like FedEx, the slightest whiff of
dissatisfaction among its customers is a serious concern.
As a consumer, you can deliver a powerful message on
behalf of these workers. A simple pledge.
Let FedEx Ground know its customers won't fund
unionbusting. We'll deliver the
signatures to company management to show them we mean business.
» Take the pledge: Don't use FedEx to ship your holiday
gifts.

One
of the biggest clothing retailers in North America, American Eagle
Outfitters has a corporate code of conduct for contractors that
supports workers’ rights to join a union.
But workers at American Eagle’s Canadian distribution contractor
have a shocking story to tell. When these men and women first tried to
form a union, they say they were subjected to harassment and
intimidation—all part of a massive unionbusting campaign.

Write a letter to American Eagle and tell them unionbusting doesn't fit!
