Workers’ rights to join a union and bargain collectively are basic human rights. Yet every 23 minutes American workers are punished by corporate employers and the federal government for exercising their workplace rights. Employers routinely retaliate against workers by firing them, threatening to close their worksites and by otherwise intimidating them. These ongoing workplace human rights violations are the major reasons why so many workers are denied good jobs, good wages and good health care benefits.

Let’s stand together to protect our human rights.
