  Posted on Sep 12, 2008 by Mainers for Employee Freedom

  [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-fvWFuJJYM[/youtube] Jack McKay, president of the Eastern Maine Labor Council, took time away from a pro-EFCA rally to explain why the Employee Free Choice Act, a bill that will take away an employee’s right to a private ballot, should be law in the United States.

• Card check is a basic “human right”?

  Posted on Sep 08, 2008 by Mainers for Employee Freedom

  Stalin, Mao, Hussein, Castro. When you think about these 4 men you think of the horrible atrocities and total disregard for human rights they committed. They had no regard for human life or the suffering of their fellow countrymen. They put their subjects to work in prison camps for days with little to no food. […]

• Tom Allen supporter rallies against EFCA

  Posted on Sep 02, 2008 by Mainers for Employee Freedom

  Ron Bancroft, a strong Tom Allen supporter, has written an OpEd in today’s Portland Press Herald exposing the deceptively-named Employee Free Choice Act for what it is: an attack on traditional democratic values.  This must come as a major blow to Allen, who has been attacking opponents of his bill as liars and anti-union.

  Despite the multiple attempts by Tom Allen to downplay his support for the Employee Free Choice Act, Mainers are getting a large dose of the facts in the bill. Somewhat unknown before the Employee Freedom Action Committee shed light on the issue, EFCA has now become a major issue this November. While Mainers for Employee […]

• Tom Allen Tip-Toes Around EFCA

  Posted on Jul 24, 2008 by Mainers for Employee Freedom

  Tom Allen tip-toes around the issue of private ballot votes for unionization elections in a radio interview July 23rd. Because 92% of Mainers are against having their right to a private union ballot taken away, Congressman Allen has a difficult time explaining his support while giving the radio station listeners a truthful breakdown of the […]
