Global Support Growing for Employee Free Choice

Since Friday, when we wrote about international union support for the Employee Free Choice Act, more letters backing this critical legislation have poured in from around the world.

In separate letters to United Steelworkers (USW) President Leo Gerard, leaders of unions in eight countries, along with an international union federation, have expressed solid support for the bill. The latest letters come from all corners of the world: Paraguay, Japan, Ghana, Argentina, Brazil, Indonesia, Thailand and Togo, the base of the 13-member International Federation of Chemical, Energy, Mine and General Workers’ Unions (ICEM).


Global union leaders point out the legislation would bring the United States in line with international labor standards. Now, a report released at the historic global summit on organizing shows the United States has the lowest rate of union membership among developed nations and the anti-union tactics used in this country are being exported to other countries.
