YOUR LETTERS: Tell your senators to fund the NLRB

For eight years, anti-union politicians in Congress have kept the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) on a starvation diet, effectively decreasing its budget by 25 percent. The agency — which needs to function at full capacity to enforce Labor laws — is even talking about having to furlough employees during the coming year.

We cannot let that happen on our watch, and this Congress needs to hear that message loud and clear. We owe it to the workers who are risking their jobs to organize a union and bargain for a better life.

Write a letter to your senators at https://act.aflcio.org/letters/fundthenlrb before it’s too late. Together, we can protect our freedom to organize.
