    Is Democracy A Choice Between Jobs and Workers Rights?

    157 House and 15 Senate Democrats said


    The rest of Congress made the wrong choice, and too many were silent. Organizing and bargaining rights in our nation are already at the bottom of global democracies. This week, in approving the Federal Aviation Administration Reauthorization, the House and Senate majorities caved in to the ideological agenda of Delta Air Lines and the 1 percent and voted to destroy workers rights in the transportation sector. Its not democracy when the election process, virtually controlled by management, cant even begin until a majority of workers support a union. In every other democracy, those workers would have their union. Its not democracy when elections among transportation workers are held to a voting standard that no member of Congress could meet. Last year, a majority vote standard, just like we have in every other election in this country, was put in place by the rule-making agency. Amazingly, that rule wasnt included in this legislation. This should have been a jobs bill, not the opportunity for an ideological assault by the 1 percent. Workers shouldnt have to choose between jobs and their rights on the job. The assault on workers rights that began in Madison is continuing, paid for by the 1 percent. The 99 percent will fight back! And we remember those champions who stood with us this week.
