More Organizations Backing Employee Free Choice

The list of Employee Free Choice allies and supporters continues to grow, with more than 99 organizations now committed to working to pass the Employee Free Choice Act to help restore an economy that works for all of us.

Several key consumer groups, including Public Citizen, the National Consumers League, Consumer Action and others, called on members of the 111th Congress, who were sworn in this week, "to address the needs of hard working Americans on Main Street and not just the interests of Wall Street."

"The current crisis in our financial markets shows what happens when corporate greed is allowed to go unchecked – and consumers and workers unfortunately pay the price. The Employee Free Choice Act will help level the playing field for America's workers by giving them a fair and direct path to form unions," they wrote.     

Organizations listed below have expressed their strong support for the Employee Free Choice Act and their determination to help make it become the law of the land. (To view list click here.)
