Doris O. Matsui needs to help stop the attack on workers
FIGHTING FOR ECONOMIC JUSTICE & DEMOCRACYThree bills currently before the U.S. House of Representatives would have a catastrophic impact on the freedom of workers to join CWA or any other union. These bills are quickly making their way to a vote before the full House, so the time to reach your member of Congress is now!
The first bill, H.R. 986, would take away workers’ rights if they work at tribal casinos or on any part of tribal land, no matter what job they are performing. The second, H.R. 2776, would give employers the right to set the date for union representation elections, enabling them to postpone these votes for months at a time. The last bill, H.R. 2775, would cut off workers' access to key information before an election, denying workers the opportunity to get all the facts and make an informed decision about joining a union.
As CWA continues to fight for good contracts, to keep good jobs in our communities and to look out for CWA members and all working families, we also must encourage all workers to use their freedom to join a union and have a voice on the job. These bills are a direct attack not only on workers who want the freedom to join a union but on all union members.
These attacks on workers also would embolden our employers, making it harder to bargain good contracts and to keep good jobs in our communities.
Doris O. Matsui needs to hear from you that these attacks on workers’ freedom to join a union are outrageous and unacceptable, and that the voters who sent her to office strongly oppose them.
These bills will be coming up for a vote before the House of Representatives soon. Please visit https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-your-member-of-congress-to-stop-the-attack-on-workers today and tell Doris O. Matsui to oppose this outrageous legislation.
Thanks,
Beth
