The union movement’s nationwide drive to get at least 1 million signatures in support of the Employee Free Choice Act is gaining steam. Four hundred members of the Communications Workers of America (CWA) already have signed postcards to tell the new president and Congress that working families across America want them to immediately enact the legislation.


Sharon A’Damo, a CWA Local 1023 member, was one of the first to sign the card.

The cards will be presented to the new Congress after the November elections in a ceremony at the U.S. Capitol. (You can show your support for the Employee Free Choice Act by clicking here to sign our online card.)

CWA President Larry Cohen, who chairs the AFL-CIO Organizing Committee, says:

The corporate bullies who are scared to death of the Employee Free Choice Act have millions of dollars to spend to try to defeat it. Our side has millions of working families who are fed up with having their rights stomped on, and our postcard campaign is one way we will make that abundantly clear to lawmakers.
