One of these days the Dilberts in the workplace are going to get tired of competing globally and facing declining wages and benefits while their CEO's get rich. But watch out, because the labor rights that Norma Rae had are scarcely enforced and eroding fast. The Middle Class has to call on Democrats to try to pass the Employee Free Choice Act in 2008.
The Employee Free Choice Act is comprehensive labor reform but is blocked in the Senate by Republicans who threaten a filibuster. Democrats have to compromise and only enact penalties for violations of current labor law to force Republicans to sign the act or expose their hatred for the rights of the Middle Class.
Compromise on the Employee Free Choice Act would benefit all Americans and restore the respect for the law that once allowed workers to join together and negotiate better wages and working conditions.
Without enforcement of the right to organize only employees in existing unions have labor rights. This is great for those in Government and Municipal jobs with no chance of offshoring, but awful for the Dilberts of the world.
Sign the petition to ask Congress to compromise and enforce labor rights for everyone in 2008: http://www.agilepeople.org
You have to do this, because Unions are willing to wait until after the elections to see how our Congressmen stand on the rights of non-unionized employees.
