Why Does Rep. John Tanner (D-TN) Hate Workers' Rights?As Speaker Pelosi promised, the Democratic Congress is moving to pass the Employee Free Choice Act (H.R. 800). The bill would restore the right of American workers to form or join unions. This is an extremely important piece of workers' rights legislation!
"Every day, corporations deny workers the freedom to decide for themselves whether to form unions to bargain for a better life. They routinely intimidate, harass, coerce and even fire workers who try to form unions and bargain for economic well-being."
See if your representative is one of the 230 co-sponsors.
In Tennessee, Rep. John Tanner (pictured here with Michael Moore) is the only Democrat who is not sponsoring the workers' rights bill!
