Support the Employee Free Choice Act

The Employee Free Choice Act is legislation that was brought up today in Congress that would:

1) establish stronger penalties for violation of employee rights when workers seek to form a union and during first-contract negotiations,

2) Provide mediation and arbitration for first-contract disputes, and

3) Allow employees to form unions by signing cards authorizing union representation.

The American Hotel & Lodging Association, of course, opposes it. Why? The AHLA says that the Act would be "a direct assault on the rights of every hotel worker in the U.S." So, according to the association that represents hotel companies with whom workers unions bargain, the above three results would be a detriment to workers rights.
