The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is spending millions of dollars to defeat the Employee Free Choice Act labor law reform. Jobs With Justice says the Chamber is spreading lies about the reform that would make it easier for workers to join unions free of employer intimidation. Ricardo Valadez is national communications director for Jobs With Justice. He says Jobs With Justice this week is conducting efforts all across the country to counter what they say is the chamber's campaign of lies.

[Valadez]: “Organizations and community members in fifteen cities across the country out there educating the public around the Chamber of Commerce and their campaign of lies. And letting their senators know that there are a lot of people out there that disagree with the chamber's position.

The White House has recently re-affirmed its support for the Employee Free Choice Act.
