Pass Card Check Elections This Session!

Pass Card Check Elections This Session!

Our labor laws are broken -- especially when it comes to union recognition elections. As result, the percentage of unionized workers hovers around ten percent, despite over two-thirds of workers approving of unions and a whopping 77% of workers 34 yrs old and under.

We can start to level the playing field between employers and workers right here in Vermont by passing Card Check Elections (H.308 & S.131) for our public sector workers.

Learn more about Card Check Elections by watching this video and ask your legislator to pass H.308 & S.131 today.
