Minority Business Groups Unite Against Anti-Worker Card Check Legislation

Business leaders and workers rally on Capitol Hill to protect secret ballots
in the workplace

Minority business leaders and workers across America have joined forces to
defeat proposed legislation officially known as the Employee Free Choice Act
(EFCA). The Employee Free Choice Act - or "card check" bill will effectively
eliminate secret ballots for workers in union organizing elections and bind
employers to contracts that inhibit their ability to create much-needed new
jobs.

Representatives from a diverse cross-section of the minority business
community will rally on the Capitol to make their case before lawmakers,
urging them to vote no on card check or any harmful compromise.

Before their meetings with members of Congress, the coalition will hold a
rally to raise awareness about the impact of EFCA on minority-owned businesses
and their workers.
