business executives demand high-dollar contracts to protect their pay and

The Employee Free Choice Act will make it easier for women and men to
form or join a union when they choose to in their workplace. This
legislation would give workers a fair and direct path to form unions
through majority sign-up, help employees secure a contract with their
employer in a reasonable period of time, and toughen penalties against
employers who violate their workers' rights. With a free choice to
join unions, working people can bargain for better pay, health care and
pensions and build a better life themselves and their families.</span><span
