Corporate bailouts,
big bonuses, and big lies

Corporate America's attempt to stop the Employee Free Choice Act

In an attempt to boost corporate influence and corporate intimidation, corporations have organized a multi-million-dollar nationwide campaign to prevent workers from joining labor unions.

The so-called Save our Secret Ballot campaign (SOS) seeks to undermine and derail the Employee Free Choice Act.

Their tactic? Spreading the lie that the Employee Free Choice Act would eliminate secret ballots for all elections, including those for public officials and ballot initiatives.

The truth is, the Employee Free Choice Act has nothing to do with elections for public office or public votes on initiatives or referenda.

The Employee Free Choice Act absolutely protects workers' right to choose a secret ballot in union elections. Employee Free Choice Act would allow workers, not their bosses, to decide how to form a union.

The SOS campaign is just another deceptive, corporate-backed effort to attack job security, keep wages low, and cut health care benefits while CEOs give themselves millions in bonuses.
