Our brothers over in the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) are waging an organizing campaign at Wackenhut Security, the firm that furnishes security services at National Parks and monuments like the Liberty Bell.
Incidentally, the Liberty Bell is where two Philadelphia area congressmen, Chaka Fattah and Patrick Murphy (my congressman), rallied with Wackenhut workers and SEIU organizers to launch the Wackenhut Workers Organizing Committee.
Read the story from the Philadelphia Daily News here.
Learn more about what’s going on with the organizing effort at the SEIU’s Eye on Wackenhut website.

Because the NLRB continues to drop the ball, like in their new decision to deny access to widely-used voluntary card check recognition. From the summation provided by American Rights at Work:
More and more workers seek alternatives to organizing through the lengthy, conflict-ridden NLRB election process. When unions and employers can come together to agree on a peaceful process of organizing, the Board should promote this progress in labor relations. Instead, the Board turned on its own mission to promote collective bargaining, and is aiding the right-wing attack on the freedom of association. This ruling further underscores the need for Congress to pass the Employee Free Choice Act, which would allow workers to more freely form unions.
