    Historic Legislation Launched to Restore Workers' Freedom to Form Unions AFL-CIO
    “Labor unions have led the fight for better wages and working conditions for millions of workers in our country. But too many workers who want to form a union are unable to do so. America’s workers deserve better,” said Senator Edward Kennedy. “That is why I am pleased to introduce the Employee Free Choice Act.”

    “Behind the closed doors of the workplaces of America, workers face incredible — often ruthless — opposition when they try to come together in a union,” said John Sweeney, president of the AFL-CIO. “This legislation is fundamental and much-needed backing for workers who want to have a real voice on the job.”
