Chamber of Commerce ACTIONS JUNE 3-4 & 11

JwJ coalitions across the country mobilized at Chamber of Commerce branches June 3-4 to highlight the latest in a long line of anti-worker policies advocated by the US Chamber of Commerce, a multimillion dollar campaign against the Employee Free Choice Act.  JwJ asked 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, JwJ protested their activity.
