McDonald's isn't lovin' free choice for its employees. The fast food giant is reportedly organizing its restaurant owners to oppose the Employee Free Choice Act. McDonald's has reportedly even formed an "internal response team...to actively participate in the opposition to the Employee Free Choice Act."
McDonald's has more than 600,000 employees in the US, many of whom earn less than $10/hour. But last year its CEO took home more than $13 million. Now McDonald's leadership is actively organizing to prevent its employees from standing up for themselves at work.
Write to McDonalds and say employees need the Employee Free Choice Act - we'll send your letters to McDonald's headquarters to make sure they get the message.

Last month, Bank of America accepted $25 billion in taxpayer funds as part of the Wall Street Bailout. Now they're refusing to release lines of credit and causing hundreds to lose their jobs. In Chicago, workers making energy efficient windows and doors at the Republic Windows and Doors plant came to work only to be told their factory was shutting down and they would not be receiving the pay owed to them.
Hundreds of these laid-off workers have occupied their factory and are refusing to leave without receiving the benefits they rightly deserve — they're staying in the office day and night in their quest for justice.
Tell Bank of America and Congressional leaders to ensure that the Bailout Program be used to provide workers and companies with lines of credit to save jobs.

Here's the good news: President-elect Barack Obama has vowed to invest in clean energy and good jobs – he's asked Congress to have a bill ready for him on the day he takes office.
The bad news: A small group of powerful legislators, backed by Big Oil lobbyists, is bent on derailing our new energy future.
Leading them is Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK), who's called global warming the "greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people" and labeled clean energy supporters like you "extremist".
As the top Republican on a key Senate committee, Sen. Inhofe wields enormous influence in deciding our energy future. But so do you.
Tell Sen. Inhofe and his buddies not to stall the clean energy plan America voted for in November.
