Rep. Miller Closes Debate - The Employee Free Choice Act

Description

To help ease the economic squeeze on America's middle class families, Democratic lawmakers have introduced the Employee Free Choice Act (HR 800), a bill with 234 cosponsors that would help workers join together to bargain for better wages, benefits, and working conditions. Union workers earn 30 percent more, on average, than do nonunion workers, and union workers are much more likely to have healthcare, pensions and more generous paid time off.
