YOU ARE HERE >> Feature: Employee Free Choice Act
Badillo
U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee
March 10, 2009

"My story exemplifies that businesses and unions can work together for the benefit of hardworking Americans like me. My daughters are grown and have jobs of their own, but I can only hope they can enjoy a strong voice on the workplace like I have had. In today's economy it helps to know that, working together, my union and my employer will make sure the whole team gets through it.”

--Kelly Badillo, 32BJ Member, New Jersey

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.
