NC Allies: Guilford College Supports EFCA
28 Apr 2009 by Tessie in Federal Issues, Home Page, Issues / No Comments
Jonathan Bray, an AFSCME organizer, visited Guilford College last weekend to talk to the College Democrats about the Employee Free Choice Act and its relevance to students.
“Unions aren’t just for factory workers anymore,” explained Jon. “People who graduate from college are entering white collar jobs as dentists and psychologists are forming unions too.”
Jon explained that unions hold corporations accountable for environmental and labor violations, and provide job protection in these uncertain times. The response from the students was positive and they expressed interest in helping to advancing the rights of workers.
During the meeting, students and professors wrote letters to Senator Kay Hagan and Representative Miller, urging them to support the Employee Free Choice Act.
“I feel that unions are vital to helping our country in this period of economic crisis,” said Matt Clausen, president of the Guilford College Democrats. “Passing the Employee Free Choice Act will strengthen unions and improve the economy over time.”
