Today a new coalition, Business Leaders for a Fair Economy, was launched and announced its public support for the Employee Free Choice Act. The coalition was formed to give businesses supportive of workers’ rights a voice and to promote employer backing of the Employee Free Choice Act. The national group of employers, entrepreneurs, and business leaders says good-paying jobs create demand for the goods and services they provide, and that when America’s workers do well, it leads to a stronger, more sustainable national economy, which benefits companies from Main Street to Wall Street. Already, 1,000 business leaders have publicly endorsed the Employee Free Choice Act. The coalition is running a full-page ad today in The Wall Street Journal, The Hill, and Politico, and sending a letter to Congress calling for passage of the Employee Free Choice Act. Both are available at the coalition’s website www.FairEconomyNow.org. continue reading
