AMERICANS FOR PROSPERITY: STOP BIG LABOR!

Scott Walker’s recent victory in Wisconsin proves that Americans are starting to question union control of the workplace. But the struggle against Big Labor is just starting.

President Obama stacked the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the independent agency charged with mediating union elections and enforcing labor laws, with former union cronies from the Service Employees International Union. Instead of protecting workers and enforcing fair elections, the NLRB is doing exactly the opposite.

This is a major blow to employers and the employees exercising their choice not to join a union. Thankfully, Congress is considering the Employee Rights Act, which will put a check on the power of labor unions.

Take action today and urge your representatives in Congress to support the Employee Rights Act and put the power back in the hands of employees—not union bosses.

The Employee Rights Act will give workers the choice of whether their dues money should go toward political purposes that they don’t support. The Employee Rights Act will also protect the secret ballot instead of allowing “card check” style elections where employees can be coerced.

When politics get in the way and unions are given unchecked power, it hurts workers’ rights and businesses’ bottom lines. It’s time to stop big labor bosses from hurting employees.

Take action today and urge your representatives in Congress to support the Employee Rights Act and put the power back in the hands of employees—not union bosses.

Sincerely,
Americans for Prosperity
