In response to the editor's article "Blow to bad labor bill," it is important that we take the time to see where the support and money is coming from to defeat this bill.

Chamber of Commerce, Wal Mart, and McDonald's, not the best friends for working people. These corporations will spend millions to defeat this bill.

It is this country's position that working people have the right under the law to organize a union and not be intimidated by their employer. (NLRA)

This act provides that if the employees have a majority of cards signed the employer must recognize the union and negotiate a collective bargaining agreement within a certain time frame or the issue will go to arbitration.

This paper and others have made statements that are inaccurate ie.: "This bill will take away the secret ballot" Not true, the act provides that if a majority of employees sign authorization cards, the employer must recognize and bargain with the union. If a majority of employees prefer instead to hold an election they will have that right.

The Employee Free Choice Act will give the choice to employees.
