The Employee Free Choice Act makes it easier for workers to choose to form a union. More than ever, workers need the strength that comes through collective bargaining to win good contracts with meaningful benefits.
- Unionized employees earn up to 20% more than their non-union counterparts.
- Union members are 25% more likely to have employer-paid health care and pensions.
- Millions of workers say they would like to join a union, but the current system prevents most from getting the chance to elect to organize one.
- Employee Free Choice restores fair balance between employers and employees by ensuring that workers, not their bosses, get to decide on union membership.
