Urge your U.S. Senators to support the Employee Free Choice Act!!! 

• OEA supports the Employee Free Choice Act, which protects workers' rights to organize and join a union without harassment or retaliation from employers. 
• It has three key provisions: 1) Require employers to recognize a union if a majority of workers sign authorization cards saying they want union representation; 2) Provide mediation and arbitration for first contract disputes; 3) Strengthen penalties for companies that illegally intimidate employees to prevent them from forming a union.
• Contact your U.S. Senators and help hold anti-union employers accountable, guarantee workers a free and fair chance to form a union, and force employers to stop dragging out contract negotiations.

By supporting the Employee Free Choice Act, you will be help America's workers earn living wages, adequate health care, and retirement security. Please do not let big business stop the Senate from doing what's right for the American people.
