We keep reading and seeing all of these negative stereotypes in the news by Republican leaders in Nebraska. That’s why we want to extend this opportunity to Republican leaders to actually meet union members and to experience the work they do on a daily basis to keep our country moving. After all, we need leaders who stand up for working Nebraskans, and not just repeat the same tired talking points we’ve heard time and again.

The Employee Free Choice Act will not only aide in giving workers a voice, but will provide necessary support when forming a union through the freedom of choice and fair policies that will protect them throughout the process. Mark, please stop being just a figurehead. Show us you’re a true leader by listening to the facts. We need leaders to stand up for working families, not figureheads who just stand in.
