To help ease the economic squeeze on America's middle class families, Democratic lawmakers
have introduced the Employee Free Choice Act (H.R. 800), a bill with 234 cosponsors that
would help workers join together to bargain for better wages, benefits, and working conditions.
Union workers earn 30 percent more, on average, than do nonunion workers, and union workers
are much more likely to have healthcare, pensions and more generous paid time off.

In the process of reposting it around, I've listened to it FIVE TIMES so far! I can't get enough of it! For the first time in sooooo many years, I'm beginning to feel GOOD about the direction this Nation is moving in.

On edit: Everyone here consider giving this a recommendation.
