Our latest online and newspaper ads point out the hypocrisy of Big Business on arbitration. Many large companies are happy to support arbitration when it’s in their best interest. But when it comes to negotiating contracts with their workers, those same companies would rather use delay tactics to avoid paying better wages and benefits.

Arbitration is a key part of the Employee Free Choice Act that will let employers and workers who have formed a union reach a first contract in a reasonable period of time.

>> SIGN THE PETITION - URGE CONGRESS TO PASS THE EMPLOYEE FREE CHOICE ACT NOW!

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

I support the Employee Free Choice Act because:

1. Workers must have a real choice to form a union and bargain for a better life, free from employer intimidation. If a majority of workers want a union, they should get a union.

2. Companies cannot be allowed to endlessly delay agreement on a first contract and stall out the choice of the majority of their workers. Arbitration will let employers and workers who have formed a union reach a first contract in a reasonable period of time.

3. There must be real penalties for violating the law. Companies must be held accountable.

I urge Congress to pass the Employee Free Choice Act now!
