Action Needed:
Urge Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer To NOT Compromise
On Federal Card-Check Legislation
The United States Senate has apparently dropped
the card-check provision from the Employee Free Choice Act. But, the
legislation is still moving ahead and now includes fasters union
elections and still calls for binding arbitration.
We need you to tell our Senators Feinstein and
Boxer to not support such a compromise on this legislation.

Fresno Chamber Takes
Action Opposing Employee Free Choice Act
The
Fresno Chamber presented more than 125 cards signed by members
opposed to the Employee Free Choice Act to our federal
congressional representatives at a press conference on Friday.
Fresno-area Congressmen Devin Nunes and George Radanovich said
they will take the cards back to Washington D.C. to help in the
fight against the proposed legislation.
They also thanked the Chamber for taking action and encouraged
members to continue its effort.
"This is very serious legislation," Nunes said. "It sounds like
something free, but all it does is allow unions to organize. I
think what the Chamber is doing here today is critical. We have
to continue to get the message out about this legislation."
Senator Dave Cogdill and Fresno
City Council Member Paul Caprioglio also attended Friday's press
conference.
