[Peace-discuss] proposed Organizational Endorsement of the Employee Free Choice Act...

[Jenifer Cartwright]

A no-brainer, so far as I'm concerned. I strongly support it and am in favor of AWARE's endorsing it. Not sure how many member votes would be needed for the endorsement, nor whether strong opposition would preclude it. Anybody?

Dear AWARE:

In addition to circulating individual cards in support, Jobs with
Justice is circulating organizational statements in support of the
Employee Free Choice Act.

I realize that it might be a challenge for AWARE to reach consensus on
such a thing, but I figured that there was no harm in asking.

Organizational Endorsement of the Employee Free Choice Act

We, the undersigned organization, are concerned about the pervasive
violation of the rights of working people when they attempt to
exercise their basic freedom to form unions and bargain collectively
for a better life.

The Employee Free Choice Act is the first step to fixing this badly
broken system.  The Employee Free Choice Act will:
-       Strengthen penalties for companies that coerce or intimidate
employees trying to form unions and bargain.
-       Establish mediation and binding arbitration when the employer and
workers cannot agree on a first contract.
-       Enable employees to form unions when a majority signs
authorization cards.

Our organization endorses the Employee Free Choice Act and permits our
organization's name to be used on materials that may be reproduced and
distributed to the press and the general public.
