The struggle for workers’ rights shouldn’t have to be so slow, so hard, or so unfair...
The Employee Free Choice Act—a bill in Congress quickly gaining momentum—will help fix the broken process through which workers form unions. This important legislation would make sure workers have a fair chance to exercise their democratic right to choose a union.

Employers routinely harass, coerce, intimidate, and even fire workers when they try to exercise their legal rights to form unions. As the law currently stands, union elections are prone to delay and often favor employers in their fights against workers' unions.

This legislation would fix the process by imposing stiffer penalties against employers that violate labor law, and would set up a process for newly-organized workers to negotiate a first contract in a timely manner. Under the Employee Free Choice Act, workers could opt to follow the "voluntary recognition" method of organizing, where workers choose union representation through a process in which a majority signs cards indicating their support.
