Support Employee Free Choice
President-Elect Barack Obama supports the Employee Free Choice Act. Do you?
Meet one of the most prominent supporters of the Employee Free Choice Act. Barack Obama helped lead the fight for the Employee Free Choice Act in the Senate, and he's promised to sign the bill as President.
The Employee Free Choice Act will be among the priorities for President Obama and the new, pro-middle class Congress, but they need to see the broad public support for this much-needed change.
Check out this video and then sign our petition to join Barack Obama in supporting the Employee Free Choice Act.

"For working families, economic recovery and economic growth starts at work," writes SEIU Secretary-Treasurer Anna Burger in
the Huffington Post today,
highlighting the Employee Free Choice Act as a crucial step towards economic recovery in America.
Labor Expecting Progress Under Obama
"We have to create jobs... and workers have to have a voice in those jobs [through union organizing] so that they're good jobs," said SEIU secretary-treasurer Anna Burger in an
American Prospect
piece highlighting labor's optimism for Obama's continued support of the Employee Free Choice Act.
SEIU Video Helps Clear the Record
"There have been many attacks on the Employee Free Choice Act by corporate-funded front-groups who are trying to spread myths and misrepresentations to confuse people," says SEIU staffer Ari Yampulsky. See the
video fact check
that addresses a recent anti-free choice advertisement.
