Dear Stuart,
One of the fundamental rights we all share as Americans is the right to vote - to vote for our elected officials and to vote whether to form a union.
But for too long workers who have exercised their right to join together to raise standards on the job and reach for the American Dream have been met with intense intimidation, bullying and even firings.
Well, today, the National Labor Relations Board took a stand for working families across the country by issuing a rule that would remove bureaucratic barriers that employers use to delay union elections after employees indicate their desire to form a union at the workplace.
We've created a petition thanking them for the positive step they're taking for Americans hoping to create a better life for themselves during these difficult economic times.
Add your name with others across the country who have signed the letter and we'll be sure to deliver it to the NLRB next week:

What are corporations afraid of?
The Board will almost certainly come under attack by the same corporate interests who wrecked our economy while profiting mightily at the cost of millions of American jobs.
You remember the corporate rhetoric from their past campaigns against unions, right?
"The demise of a civilization."
"Businesses are hearing about it and they're ready to riot in the streets."
Let the Board know that working families stand with them by signing a letter of support and we'll deliver it for you. Sign and follow our progress here:

We've set an ambitious goal of 10,000 petitions signed in the next seven days. Between SEIU members and allies, it's a goal we can meet that will send a powerful message to the Board.
This is a very important campaign, and we'll be in touch as the debate begins.
In solidarity,
Mary Kay Henry
President, SEIU
