AMERICANS RIGHT TO WORK
Did you happen to catch last night's episode of "The Office"? Anyone who's a fan of the hit TV show
UNIONBUSTING AT "THE OFFICE"?
Stand Up for Workers' Rights
knows the Dunder-Mifflin employees need a union—or something—to deal with their bumbling boss Michael.
So the warehouse workers finally expressed the need for a union to improve their wages and benefits. But when the corporate boss Jan found out about it, she illegally threatened the employees that the Dunder-Mifflin plant would close and that they would lose their jobs if they formed a union.
Every week "The Office" offers up plenty of hilariously outrageous situations that you'd never imagine happening at your own office. But this time the show served up the hard truth about how far employers will go to stop their employees from forming a union.
It's unfair for workers to be threatened by their employers for expressing their desire to form a union.
And here's how you can help! Click here to tell Congress to pass the Employee Free Choice Act.
Click here to tell Congress to pass the Employee Free Choice Act.
Workers deserve a free choice and a fair chance to form a union if they want to—without risking their livelihood to do so. If Congress passes the Employee Free Choice Act, tougher penalties will be in place to protect workers who want to form a union against discrimination and intimidation.
It would give workers a fair, simple, direct method for organizing unions. It would also stop employers from dragging out contract negotiations for years and years. Tell your members of Congress to support this important bill:

What happened to workers on "The Office" is wrong - but it happens all the time. Over 49% of employers threaten to close a worksite when workers try to form a union. Yet most employers are never held accountable! For the warehouse workers employed by Dunder-Mifflin on "The Office," for 1.2 million Wal-Mart employees, for workers in your community, and for men and women across the country, please act now!
Thank you again for your dedication to protecting workers' rights!
