We're already hearing - and seeing - good things from Congress about their priorities for 2009.
On Monday, the Senate Democratic caucus announced support for ensuring workers can freely choose to form a union. Now Congress is taking up the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and the Paycheck Fairness Act to ensure equal pay for equal work.
But it's not surprising that big business is ratcheting up attacks on this legislation and employee free choice since they have consistently lobbied against commonsense measures that help working families.
If we want to create an economy that works for everyone again instead of just those at the top then we have to act now. That's why yesterday, SEIU launched the Change That Works campaign--a massive, grassroots movement in 35 states to ensure working people win the change they voted for in November.
If you click on the links below, you'll find key information about the Change That Works campaign and how the Employee Free Choice Act will help rebuild the middle class--and facts that set the record straight on the opposition's misleading campaign to oppose employee free choice.
