| Organizing Issues and Procedures Practical Issues in a Unionizing Drive The relationship between the practical stages in an organizing drive and the legal framework of the Taft-Hartley Act is an important determinant of the rights of workers at any point in time.

During a time in which Canadian unionization rates have continued to grow to their current level of 37 percent of the workforce, the once-powerful U.S labor movement has seen its influence decline and the organization rate tumble to 16 percent of the workforce, while wage disparity has dramatically increased and average living standards for working people have fallen.

Serious shortcomings in the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) have, over time, eroded the very framework of worker empowerment the NLRA was designed to ensure. To Reverse that erosion, this month I introduced legislation, The Right-To-Organize Act of 2001 (S. 1102), to strengthen the basic rights of workers to organize and to join a union. It is urgent that Congress take action to help working men and women. UAW |
