Employee free choice act

Given all of the media static these days, it can be hard to pay attention to some of the work that Congress is actually trying to get done. One piece of legislation worth enacting is the Employee Free Choice Act. You can tell it’s real change, because of the sheer amount of money the big corporations are using to fight it. But here’s a fun way to get people thinking about what unions have already accomplished for ALL workers, and why we should support their efforts to unionize.

Once you're done smiling, here are some articles about it, and perhaps you can sign the petition.
