Use this information to check the RADIO COVERAGE of the campaign around the US. UFCW/WIN Contract Audio - Employee Free Choice Act 02/14/07 By Doug Cunningham Few workers anywhere need labor law reform as badly as workers at Smithfield Food’s Tar Heel, North Carolina hog processing plant. For years workers there have struggled to organize a union. But they are up against a company that blatantly violates existing labor law. And when the law is enforced it takes far too long for workers to get anything close to justice. Keith Ludlum was fired for using his legal right to organize twelve years ago and has only recently won his job back. He was one of the workers who testified before Congress at a hearing on the Employee Free Choice Act. The act would let workers form a union whenever a majority sign union cards, neutralizing the anti-union employer’s intimidation, harassment and threats that union organizers often have to face under existing labor law. Ludlum says Congress needs to hear what workers really endure when trying to exercise their legal rights to form unions.
