Last week, you sent Rite Aid a message they won't soon forget.  When we asked you to stand up for workers at Rite Aid's distribution center in Lancaster, CA,, you sent their CEO 12,656 letters!

But under current labor law, the deck is stacked. If we want to stop Rite Aid's brand of stalling and intimidation for good, we need to take it up with Congress.  Rite Aid would never have been able to get away with delaying union negotiations for over a year – not to mention violating labor laws repeatedly – if we had the protections included in the Employee Free Choice Act:

1. Rite Aid warehouse workers faced a two-year anti-union campaign of harassment and intimidation. The Employee Free Choice Act would help guarantee workers a free choice and a fair path to form a union, without fear of intimidation.
2. Rite Aid has been able to repeatedly break labor law, facing little more than a slap on the wrist. With the Employee Free Choice Act, employers who break the law would face real penalties.
3. Rite Aid warehouse workers have been trying to negotiate a first contract for over a year, but the company has been dragging its feet – and even hired an anti-union consultant! The Employee Free Choice Act would help stop the endless delays and stall tactics companies use to deny workers a collective bargaining agreement.
