Economists: Become a co-signer of our Statement on the Employee Free Choice Act
On February 25, 2009, forty of the nation's top economists voiced their support for the Employee Free Choice Act in a statement that was presented to members of Congress and appeared as a full page ad in the Washington Post. The economists, including three Nobel Prize winners, concluded that, "As economists, we believe this is a critically important step in rebuilding our economy and strengthening our democracy by enhancing the voice of working people in the workplace."
