Every Fourth of July is an opportunity to celebrate the freedom we have, while remembering the freedoms for which we are still fighting. Our key fight now is about whether the workplace is a place of dignity—or of absolute employer power.

It’s a fight over the basic question of whether workers’ rights at work, health care and pensions are fundamental to having a decent life—or luxuries that only CEOs and investment bankers get to enjoy.

This is why we are fighting for the Employee Free Choice Act.

We are fighting for the people who do the real work of our society—who build our cities, teach our children and run into burning buildings when everyone else runs out. The people who make power plants work, tend the mentally ill and collect garbage. The people who staff hospitals, fly planes, drive buses, build ships, harvest produce and perform thousands of other critical jobs.

These people are why we are fighting for the Employee Free Choice Act.

We can only win this fight together, so join us on this Independence Day weekend and send a message to your representatives in Washington: Pass the Employee Free Choice Act because every worker deserves the freedom to join a union and bargain for a better life.

Write your representative and senators today.

America’s workers need all of us to keep fighting for our freedom.
 

HANG TOUGH!
