Amy Brenneman and Esai
Morales are among 47 popular performing artists speaking out on behalf of the

it up this way: “The best way for working men and women to get ahead is by
uniting with our co-workers and forming a union. The Employee Free Choice Act
does exactly what it says: It gives workers a choice of how to unionize.” Check
