Ms. Foundation grantee Kentucky Jobs with Justice asks you to sign a petition in support of the Employee Free Choice Act. According to the Center for Economic and Policy Research [pdf]:
Unionization raised women's wages by 11.2 percent "about $2.00 per hour" compared to non-union women with similar characteristics. Among women workers, those in unions were about 19 percentage points more likely to have employer-provided health insurance and about 25 percentage points more likely to have an employer-provided pension.
Kentucky Jobs with Justice has committed the outrageous act of organizing the Kentucky Social Forum to take place late this week.
