Nurses, janitors, security officers, and hundreds of other workers from across the country will be in Washington, D.C. this week to tell lawmakers, lobbyists, and corporate CEOs to stand with them and take immediate steps to create an economy that works for everyone -- not just those at the top.
Workers will share their stories about being fired, intimidated, and harassed by their employers for trying to form a union and discuss the importance of the Employee Free Choice Act.
Workers will also visit the offices of eight major corporate industry associations including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to ask for a meeting with the groups' top officers and call on them to stop spending millions of dollars lobbying against common-sense legislative solutions to our economic crisis like the Employee Free Choice Act.
Later in March, more than 10,000 workers and community partners in more than 50 cities across the country will take part in demonstrations at the offices of major banks that epitomize an era of corporate excess Congress must intervene to end through freedom for workers to form unions, health care for all, and other reforms. .
The actions are part of SEIU's Change That Works campaign--a campaign to ensure passage of comprehensive healthcare reform and the Employee Free Choice Act.
