Dear friend,

Our Day of Action JUST started – we need your help!

 

Do your part to fight greedy CEO’s and corporate lobbyists who are trying to kill the Employee Free Choice Act.

 

DIAL 1-888-650-9715 and tell your Senators to support the Employee Free Choice Act!

 

A year after Lehman Brothers, AIG, and the rest of the finance industry nearly brought the U.S. economy to its knees, CEO’s are back at it, lining their pockets and hurting the American worker.

 

That’s why we need the Employee Free Choice Act – a bill in Congress that would help more people negotiate for better wages, health care, and working conditions by forming a union.

 

As you read this, over 300 state leaders from around the country, including Teamster volunteers, are descending on Capitol Hill for a massive Day of Action to meet with Senators and urge them to support this important bill.

 

We need you to back them up by OVERWHELMING the Senate switchboard today.

 

Will you do your part and make two quick calls to your Senators right now? It takes about 1 minute per call.  And it makes a huge difference.

 

  1. Dial 1-888-650-9715, and we’ll connect you to your Senator’s office. Tell the staffer who answers where you're calling from, and that you strongly urge your Senator to vote for the Employee Free Choice Act.
  2. Most calls end right there, but if you like, you might mention:
    • The Employee Free Choice Act is a critical piece of our economic recovery.
    • If we truly wish to restore our middle class, workers must be able to bargain, not borrow their way to a better life.
    • By making it easier for workers to form unions, the Employee Free Choice Act will level the playing field and help ensure that the economy works for everyone again.
  3. IMPORTANT: Don't forget to redial 1-888-650-9715 and share the same message with your other Senator's office, too.

Thank you for backing up our on-the-ground efforts to pass the Employee Free Choice Act and fix our economy!
