New Employee Free Choice Resources

The Center for American Progress has released a new animated video, ""How Not to Form a Union: How Labor Law Gives Workers a Raw Deal."  The video is a simple but effective explanation of how employers thwart the efforts of workers who try to exercise their right to form unions and bargain collectively. Check it out at http://www.americanprogressaction.org/issues/2009/05/union_animation.html.

Separately, Catholics for Working Families is asking its members to help finance a radio ad that features actor and Employee Free Choice supporter Martin Sheen.

Sheen, who came to Washington, D.C., to lobby for Employee Free Choice with two of his costars from The West Wing, has recorded four radio ads focusing on key senators – Democrats Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Dianne Feinstein of California and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania and Republican Lisa Murkowski of Alaska.

The four versions of Sheen's ads are on the Catholics for Working Families website at http://www.catholicsforworkingfamilies.org/node/117.
