Pass the Employee Free Choice Act NOW!For a living wage for all!Stop the TWIC!Stop the attacks against Unions!Stop the Raids, Amnesty for all! This May Day 2009 millions of workers in the US are under attack from layoffs and wage cuts to union busting tactics by bosses who want a union-free environment. Working people are under assault. Even the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) which all the unions are supporting is threatened with being defeated with Democratic Senator Feinstein saying it would hurt the economy. May Day which started in the US needs to be commemorated by all working people including those workers who have lost their homes and their healthcare. Bring your union placards and banners.
