In thirty-six years as a union organizer and negotiator, I’ve spent countless hours helping workers and employers come together to find common ground. When it comes to how employees and employers act when workers want to form a union, the Employee Free Choice Act is a great way to put the words “fair” and “deal” back together again. Moreover, this legislation will help us rebuild the middle class so that our economy works for everyone again.

By the time you read this, our new US President is on the job and probably wondering why he went through all that trouble to get it. Let’s face it, the guy has his work cut out for him. Being President of the US is not some cushy walk in the park job like, say, civilian squadron communications officer. That’s my job, by the way, and no, I’m not giving the money back.
