Business Community Shows Hypocrisy as Usual

This American Rights at Work ad spotlights management's hypocrisy in opposing arbitration as a way for workers to get a first contract. American Rights at Work is focusing public attention on the hypocrisy of Corporate America. Big Business often demands arbitration be used to resolve many different kinds of disputes YET opposes it for negotiating first contracts with workers! The Employee Free Choice Act calls for arbitration when unions and management don't reach a first contract after 90 days. Under current labor law, workers face long delays, stalling tactics and employer-orchestrated decertification campaigns as they negotiate for a first-contract. For example, workers for Comcast in Pittsburgh, PA. waited more than five years after they first voted for Union representation (CWA - Communication Workers of America) to gain a first contract. The Employee Free Choice Act is moving forward, with action likely in the Senate soon. For more information and to see the latest ads, go to www.freechoiceact.org.
