National Call-In Day for Health Care Reform
THURSDAY, NOV 5TH
Health care reform
is the No. 1 priority in Congress right now for the
first time in years. Insurance companies are
spending millions to derail reform and special
interests are trying to pay for changes by raising
your costs through a new benefits tax.

Tell Congress Health Care Reform
MUST:

a public health insurance option to break the

costs.

WHY DO WE NEED THE E.F.C.A.?
Joining
together in a union to bargain for health care,
pensions, fair wages and better working conditions
is the best opportunity working people have to get
ahead.
Today, good jobs are vanishing and health care
coverage and retirement security are slipping out of
reach. Only 38 percent of the public says their
families are getting ahead financially and less than
a quarter believes the next generation will be
better off.
But workers who belong to unions earn 28 percent
more than nonunion workers. They are 52 percent more
likely to have employer-provided health coverage and
nearly three times more likely to have
guaranteed pensions.
All workers should have the freedom to
decide for themselves whether to form unions to
bargain for a better life.
