Yesterday we delivered a petition in support of majority sign-up and the Employee Free Choice Act to the Senate. A grand total of 18,836 people signed our petition in just a week! That's really amazing.

SEIU members Theo Jackson, a social worker from California, and Athena Jones, a home health care worker from Virginia, delivered our petition to the office of Senator Tom Harkin, the lead champion in the senate for the Employee Free Choice Act.

Watch this video of Theo and Athena delivering the petition to the Senate yesterday:

Congratulations on this success. With your continued support, we'll make sure our economy can work for everyone again with the Employee Free Choice Act.
