Tuesday, March 11, the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) was reintroduced into both houses of Congress. This is an important step forward for the country.

Senate bill S. 560 and House bill H.R. 1409, if passed, would help working Americans improve their wages and working conditions by making it easier to join a union if they choose, and passage would also be huge step out of the current economic crisis the country is in.

Also, EFCAand a stronger trade union movement generallyis key to building a bigger, more united progressive movement that can address all the issues of civil rights, womens rights, economic and environmental justice, immigrant rights, and more.
