We all respect John McCain's military service—but there are serious problems with his record in Congress and proposals, and we need to let follow union members know. As we go door to door, here's some of the information we'll share:

McCain 'Strongly Opposes' the Employee Free Choice Act. He has said he is "strongly opposed" to this important bill to help workers have a voice on the job and to restore America's middle class. McCain voted against the Employee Free Choice Act in the Senate. CEOs wouldn't work one day without a written contract to protect them, but they coerce and intimidate employees who want the security of a union contract. This bill will help workers gain a contract to protect their wages and health care free from coercion.

McCain Wants to Roll Back Our Rights With a National 'Right to Work' for Less Law. He voted for a national "right to work" for less law that would attempt to eliminate unions altogether.

McCain Has Blocked Workers' Bargaining Rights Repeatedly. He voted against allowing public-sector workers such as first responders and aviation employees the right to bargain and voted to let employers replace workers who are on strike.

McCain STILL Thinks NAFTA Was a 'Good Idea.' He voted for NAFTA and said, "I know NAFTA was a good idea." He has repeatedly voted for unfair trade deals and supported tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas. He also voted to weaken and waive Buy American laws that keep jobs here at home.

Please join us June 21—28 for these all-important Labor 2008 neighborhood walks.  We owe it to our children and our country to do our part. We've done all the research, we have all the materials—all we need is a few hours of your time.
