Tell President Bush: Protect Workers, not Business Interests

Once again the anti-worker Bush Administration moved to take away the rights of working men and women.  This time, the National Labor Relations Board decided to reclassify employees with limited supervisory duties as ‘supervisors,’ thereby stripping millions of workers of their right to form a union.

We must speak out against the latest attack on workers’ rights.  Sign this petition to President Bush to protest his administration’s anti-worker agenda!

Sample Letter for Campaign

Subject: Protect Workers, not Business Interests

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

Millions of working men and women struggle every day to provide for their families. Now when they join together to form a union to have a say about their working conditions, benefits, and job safety, they not only find themselves up against stiff resistance from their employer, but the government, too.

The very agency that is supposed to protect a worker's basic right to form a union has once again taken away those rights, and moved instead to protect the interests of big business.

Your appointees to the National Labor Relations Board decided to reclassify employees with limited supervisory duties as 'supervisors,' therefore stripping millions of workers of their right to form a union.

President Bush, hard-working men and women deserve better! I am outraged about this decision.

America has a duty to uphold and protect workers' rights to form unions and collectively bargain. It's time you reversed the course of your administration's path of destroying workers' rights and championing the cause of big business.

I urge you to take whatever steps are needed to restore our rights. Please take a pledge to start standing up for working men and women across the country.
