Employee Free Choice Act Video

I wrote many parts of this video and helped produce it:



The part I'm proudest of is the one emphasizing the value of having control over your own life. My worry is that the labor movement generally doesn't make this sort of emotional pitch in its public relations. The EFCA is supposed to help the labor movement take the next great leap forward, and accordingly labor should break out of what is often, in my opinion, a very dated way of talking. In particular, "worker" is not a word that plays - many of the people whose support this campaign is supposed to elicit don't think of themselves as "workers."

Californians: currently, every member of our Congressional delegation supports the EFCA - except one. Guess who it is? You're right, Feinstein guessers.
