Card-check Update

Thank you for taking action against H.R. 321.   It was laid on the table on December 11, 2007.  This threat is still very much alive!  If you haven't already done so, please contact your state Representative IMMEDIATELY and urge him/her to vote NO on H.R. 321. Representatives can be reached through the main switch board at (717) 787-2372 or toll-free 1-800-868-7672 . Ask for your Representative by name.  This must be stopped! The resolution urges Congress to approve legislation which would ELIMINATE the secret ballot for union elections AND would impose binding arbitration for contract resolution on all PRIVATE SECTOR employees FOR THE FIRST TIME IN U.S. HISTORY!

You can view the history of this Resolution by clicking here.
