Ask Senator Feinstein to fix our broken labor laws...

• Impose stiffer penalties for companies that break existing laws;
  
• Stop endless delays to organize a union or finalize just contracts;
• Allow workers, not companies, decide whether or not to form a union and bargain for a better life.

Ask Senator Feinstein to support Employee Free Choice as a justice-based economic stimulus...

• Help lift or keep working families out of poverty especially those who are most vulnerable to unsafe working conditions and unjust wages and benefits.
• Create a more level playing field for small businesses that currently can't compete for shrinking incomes with their global counterparts.
• Assure that companies and employees work creatively and cooperatively in the economic decision that affect their lives.
