Members of Congress are joining workers and unions nationwide for a series of events this week in support of the Employee Free Choice Act labor law reform. The AFL-CIO and the at least 230 members of Congress who support this reform say it'll strengthen the middle class by taking the fear out of the right of workers to organize. Right now employers are free to intimidate and threaten workers who use their right to join unions because current labor law makes it very hard for workers to form unions and easy for employers to get away with violating the right to organize with no real penalties. This is a week of action nationwide supporting the Employee Free Choice Act and upholding the rights of workers to organize.
