Employee Free Choice Act: New Website Reveals www.TheTruthAboutEFCA.Org

WASHINGTON, March 6 /EFCAPRNewswire-EFCAUSNewswire/ -- Employee Free Choice Act Now Launches Website to Educate Public on Card Check Legislation www.TheTruthAboutEFCA.Org , to help educate the public understand why the middle-class and workers need this very important legislation.

www.TheTruthAboutEFCA.Org will track the latest news from the mainstream media and social networking sites, highlight academic studies and contain video's and interviews to expose Corporate Front Groups like the Coalition for a Democratic Workplace, My Private Ballot,Save Our Secret Ballot,U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Employee Freedom Action Committee, Alliance For Worker AFW,Americans For Job Security just to name a few. In addition we will also look at the Union Busting Strategy behind the Employee Free Choice Act created by Navigators Global on behalf of the Coalition for a Democratic Workplace.

The Employee Free Choice Act does NOT seek to eliminate the secret ballot election. What it does is it give the employees rather than an employer the right to choose which method to use. Either a secret ballot election or a card check if the majority of workers wish to form or join a union.

The Employee Free Choice Act must be signed into law and soon. Recent studies show that it will help rebuild our economy. Leading Economists have all agreed the Employee Free Choice is Key to Rebuilding Economy The statement, signed by 39 of America’s top economists, including two Nobel Prize winners, points to the failure of U.S. labor laws to protect employees’ freedom to form a union and bargain as a major factor in our economic crisis. The statement says in part: Indeed, from 2000 to 2007, the income of the median working-age household fell by $2,000—an unprecedented decline. In that time, virtually all of the nation’s economic growth went to a small number of wealthy Americans. An important reason for the shift from broadly shared prosperity to growing inequality is the erosion of workers’ ability to form unions and bargain collectively.

Today a new report revealed that Unemployment hits 25-year high. The U.S. economy continued to hemorrhage jobs in February, bringing total job losses over the last six months to more than 3.3 million, and taking the unemployment rate to its highest level in 25 years.

"This new website www.TheTruthAboutEFCA.Org is an important tool in keeping the public informed and getting them involved in the political process so they can voice their support for this legislation." stated Steve Maritas, Organizing Director for the International Union, Security, Police and Fire Professionals of America (SPFPA) www.SPFPA.ORG

The Truth About EFCA.Org is part of a multi-faceted new media campaign slated to help shed light on the "card check" issue and expose some of the misinformation being spread by corporate front groups who oppose the EFCA and who try to continue their control and lavish life styles.
