STOP THE LIES By the Chamber of Commerce

LIST OF ACTIONS | PRESS RELEASE | REPORT ON ACTIONS

JwJ coalitions across the country are mobilizing at Chamber of Commerce branches June 3-4 and June 11th to highlight the latest in a long line of anti-worker policies advocated by the US Chamber of Commerce, a multimillion dollar campaign aganist the Employee Free Choice Act.  We are asking local branches of the Chamber to disassociate themselves from the national US Chamber’s practices by at least declaring neutrality on the Employee Free Choice Act.  For those local branches that have already been actively opposing the legislation, we are protesting their activity just as we are the US Chamber’s. 

The U.S Chamber of Commerce and Big Business allies have fought against:

“Our top priority is preventing the passage of the Employee Free Choice Act.” - U.S. Chamber of Commerce website

Big Business and their Chambers of Commerce are demanding bailouts and tax breaks while laying off workers and paying big bonuses.

They’ve also launched an anti-worker propaganda campaign, funding front groups to spread lies about the Employee Free Choice Act, pretending to care about worker privacy. The Chamber earmarked $20 million in 2008 and 2009 alone to defeat the Employee Free Choice Act.

No surprise. These corporate interests oppose everything from the minimum wage to safety rules to family leave and unemployment compensation.

Suddenly corporations care about worker privacy. Yeah, Right.

FIGHT BACK against the Chamber of Commerce’s anti-worker agenda.
