Employee Free Choice Act
Dear Bank of America
Dear Bank of America,
I am a customer. That's right. I have a couple of Bank of America credit cards. My wife and I are also looking for a bank for some accounts. But you know, your ingratitude leads me to refuse to bank with you and to consider cutting up those credit cards.
First off, you never thanked us for that bail out. Yeah. WE bailed you out. That was OUR money that you so eagerly grabbed from the government.
Okay, so I was willing to overlook that little act of ingratitude on your part. But now I find out that your ingratitude goes even further. You see, after eagerly grabbing a government hand out (paid for by us taxpayers!) you then turned around and stabbed us in the back. You took the money and used part of it to lobby against the Employee Free Choice Act, a labor bill that is supported by a large majority of Americans.
From the Huffington Post:
Three days after receiving $25 billion in federal bailout funds, Bank of America Corp. hosted a conference call with conservative activists and business officials to organize opposition to the U.S. labor community's top legislative priority. more this way»
Legislative Action from Americans for Democratic Action: Employee Free Choice Act
Here's another good bill that we can thank the new Democratic Majority in Congress for. This comes from Americans for Democratic Action.
Employee Free Choice Act:
The House of Representatives is within days voting on the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA).
Passage of EFCA is an essential step toward empowering American workers to take control of their own lives. EFCA will free workers from the harassment of anti-union employers and the weak National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) election process.
ADAction: Take this time to contact your local newspapers, post to your favorite political blog, and then contact your Representative and urge him/her to support the Employee Free Choice Act [pdf].
