Don’t we all deserve a chance at the American Dream?

Workers across the country deserve a fair chance to unite with their co-workers for better wages and benefits and a chance to create a better future for their kids.  Too often, they don’t have the opportunity because of outdated laws that favor large corporations and their billionaire CEOs over workers. 

When some workers are denied a voice on the job it affects all of our abilities to negotiate. Our benefits, our wages and our ability to deliver the services our communities need will be severely weakened.

Tell Politicians: ALL WORKERS MUST HAVE THE FREEDOM TO JOIN A UNION!

We Are Creating a Million Member Mobilization to Pass the EMPLOYEE FREE CHOICE ACT!

There’s a bill in Congress that will make sure all workers get a fair shot at achieving the American Dream.

The Employee Free Choice Act Will:

• Create a fair playing field that allows all workers the freedom to form unions.  With more workers uniting with us, we can build our strength to win higher wages for all workers, health care for all, and protect our retirement.

• Prevent anti-worker corporations from illegally intimidating and firing workers who try to form unions.

It’s time for all workers to have the chance to unite for a voice on the job.  With your help, we will present the new president and Congress with one million signatures urging them to enact the Employee Free Choice Act.  Please add your name now.

 

Let Congress know what you think. Send an E-Postcard!!!

To the President and Congress:

The Employee Free Choice Act would create a fair playing field that allows all workers the freedom to form unions so we can create good jobs, win health care for all, and provide the services our communities need.  Creating good jobs today will make it possible for our kids to achieve the American Dream tomorrow. I urge you to stand with workers and pass the Employee Free Choice Act.

What is COPE?

Members putting  SEIU political power into action as they doorknock for pro- working family candidates.

Committee on Political Education (COPE) is SEIU's voluntary political action fund.  COPE funds are used to build political power for working families.  COPE funds are used to fight major policy initiatives and electoral fights at all levels of government.  In addition, COPE is used for holding politicians accountable, voter registration drives, and get-out-the-vote efforts.  As you know, your right to collectively bargain wages and benefits is decided by elected officials.  Furthermore, government officials also decide your pension/retirement benefits and staffing issues.  Government funds education, and that means you. 

SEIU is the largest and fastest growing union in the AFL-CIO.  Union density raises wages and standards for all workers. COPE funds go into the Local 284 political account for SEIU COPE for use for local, state, and federal initiatives and candidates that are committed to increasing union density and improving the lives of working men and women.
