American Rights at Work has the scoop on one of the latest wolves in sheeps’ clothing. Ironically, it’s called the Coalition for a Democratic Workplace. In reality, it’s just a coalition against the rights of American workers to organize or associate freely.

And they’re running ads trying to convince unsuspecting Americans that collective bargaining should be as unattainable as possible. And why not? After all, millions of American workers wouldn’t want to be able to enjoy the healthcare and economic security we as Union members enjoy, would they?

But seriously, CDW is merely a front group for business interests that know it will be just that much harder to exploit American workers in a world where they have a right to the benefits of legislation like the EFCA (Employee Free Choice Act). That’s why they’re lobbying not just the government, but also the unsuspecting public to stop the EFCA from passing.

Don’t be taken by the lie.

The EFCA guarantees American workers the right to choose the benefits of Union representation simply by having a majority of workers choose. No drawn out, expensive elections. No corporate threats or coercion. Just the right of the majority of workers to choose what they want.

Now that you know it’s a lie, let other people (especially those who don’t have good Union jobs) know why the EFCA is vital to the economic survival of everyday people.

In addition to being aware of this propaganda and telling everyone else who needs to know, please consider supporting a candidate for President who will support the rights of working people to make a real living, namely by supporting passage of the Employee Free Choice Act. And continue to let your Congressional representatives know you support the EFCA, too.
