Employee Free

Choice Act

We have all heard it is a long, hard climb to the top and a quick, slippery fall to the bottom.

The fall is what we are experiencing as living wage jobs exit our country to offshore places and huge contracts, such as the Air Force Tanker Contract, was about to be given to another country.

It’s simple, if you want a strong economy you must put the money in the hands of the consumers. I urge all Americans to support the Employee Free Choice Act. After all, unions represent the workers of this country and unless you live off your interests and dividends, they are the only organizations that have your best interest in mind.
