FedEx has strived for years to keep its company union-free to fatten its bottom line.

FedEx Ground drivers—who work long hours, often without benefits—are frequently harassed and even fired for supporting a union.

Tell FedEx you're FedUp with its nasty anti-union tactics! Demand that FedEx Ground stop busting unions and give benefits and respect to the people who have made the company so successful.

Writers are the creative minds behind the shows and movies we all love to watch. Their work provides the foundation for the content produced by the entertainment industry.  But since November 5, 12,000 entertainment writers have been on strike.

These hardworking men and women are taking a stand against corporate greed.  Just like any of us, they should be compensated fairly for the work that they do.  We need to stand with them as they defend workers' rights and abilities in our new economy.

We have the names and phone numbers of studio and network executives - can you take a few minutes to call and tell them to pay their writers?

Since November 5th, 12,000 writers have been on strike.  Writers are the creative minds that power the shows and movies we all love to watch.  Their work provides the foundation for the content produced by the entertainment industry and they should be compensated fairly for the work they do. 

Hollywood studios won't sit down and seriously negotiate with the writers, who want to get paid when networks offer TV shows and movies for downloading on the Internet.  It is estimated that the studios will bring in $4.6 billion over the next three years through the Internet—and they don't want to give the writers a penny.

Tell the studio companies to come back to the bargaining table and resolve this strike. They should treat the writers with the respect they deserve, and we will stand in solidarity until the writers get a fair deal.

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.

During his six year tenure, President Bush has repeatedly failed workers. As Labor Day approaches, be a good manager and tell President Bush what you think of his job performance. Remember, you pay his salary.

Come Labor Day, Bush will have his feet up at his Crawford ranch. Meanwhile America's workers face unprecedented anxiety about their jobs, wages, health, and pensions. By sending your "Performance Review," you remind Bush that the nation is paying attention to his every move.

Blue Diamond runs the world’s largest almond processing plant and produces almonds for our snacks, cereal, and candy.  They also have produced a self-described “aggressive union-avoidance campaign” against their workers who are simply trying to form a union to improve their wages and working conditions.

Ask the supermarket chain Safeway to demand Blue Diamond quit its tricks and pledge to not interfere with its employees' union organizing efforts!
