Straight Talk About John McCain: John McCain Opposes The Employee Free Choice Act
JOHN McCAIN OPPOSES
The Employee Free Choice Act
We need the Employee Free Choice Act to rebuild America's middle class by restoring workers' freedom to form unions and bargain for better wages, health care and working conditions.
Senator McCain Voted Against the Employee Free Choice Act. Senator McCain said he is "strongly opposed" to this important bill to level the playing field for workers trying to form unions and voted against it in the Senate. (Congressional Record, page SB399, 6/26/07; H.R. 800, Vote #227, 6/26/07.)
Senator McCain Wants to Roll Back Our Rights Further With a National "Right to Work" for Less Law. Senator McCain voted for a national "right to work" for less law that would attempt to eliminate unions altogether. (S.1788, Vote #188, 7/10/96.)
Union Members Know Their Union Card is Their Ticket to the Middle Class:
- Union members make $200 more per week than nonunion workers on average. That's $10,000 a year!
- Union members are 59% more likely to have employer-provided health insurance.
- Union members are much more likely to have paid vacation and pension benefits.
