With corporate interest groups going on the attack around the Employee Free Choice Act, workers are now speaking out about why they want to join a union and sharing stories about the employer resistance, intimidation and threat of termination they've encountered when trying to organize their workplace. "We are only asking for the right to make the decision about whether or not we want a union," says personal care attendant Paulette Ducre-Howard.

Under the Employee Free Choice Act, the choice of how to form a union, whether by majority sign-up or an election, would be put into the hands of workers--not corporations. With Employee Free Choice, we can rebuild this economy from the bottom up and give workers back the power to negotiate for better wages, benefits and working conditions.

Watch CNAs Trish Mishner and Regina Simmons, security guard Nick Old, and RN Mike Kingsbury sat down to share their stories about why the Employee Free Choice Act matters to them.
