With a new Congress in session and a new President about to be sworn in, the prospects for improving the lives of working men and women look better than they have in a long time. And a big part of the reason why is the Employee Free Choice Act — legislation that would remove the barriers keeping millions of working people from joining together to achieve the American Dream.
In support of this important legislation, American Rights at Work has rolled out two awesome new TV ads. They’ll be airing on stations across the country.
Here’s the first, titled “Hope and Change”:
And here’s the second, titled “We Don’t Ask”:
Working people need the Employee Free Choice Act — and the Employee Free Choice Act needs your support to become law. Add your name to the One Million Strong for the Employee Free Choice Act campaign today and show Congress that America’s workers are ready to take back the American Dream.

Myth vs. Reality: The REALITY is the Employee Free Choice Act Helps American Workers and their Families.
As more and more working Americans struggle to make ends meet, the ability to form a union is key to the economic stability, health, and well-being of American families. Union workers’ median weekly earnings are 30 percent higher than those of non-union workers, union workers are 63 percent more likely to have employer-sponsored health insurance, and union workers are 77 percent more likely to have short-term disability benefits. According to a recent poll, nearly 60 percent of Americans would join a union if they could. (AFL-CIO, “The Union Difference: Union Advantage by the Numbers.”)
