It’s no secret that labor unions benefit working people across the country. Unions remain the most effective vehicle for the power in numbers working people need to secure their rights and freedoms, strengthen their communities and provide a pathway to the middle class.
The Public Service Freedom to Negotiate Act gives public service workers the freedom to join together in a union to win respect and fair treatment on the job.
We all deserve the freedom to join together in strong unions. Call your member of Congress at 1-833-969-0551 and tell them to support the Public Service Freedom to Negotiate Act. #PSFN
