Contractors' Association Supports Employee Free Choice
 The International Council of Employers (ICE), an association of thousands of masonry contractors, has endorsed the Employee Free Choice Act. The ICE is composed of some 10,000 contractors who employ members of the Bricklayers (BAC) union. Fred Kintader, the president of ICE, announced the association’s support for Employee Free Choice in the latest issue of ICE Voice, the association newsletter. Kintader said that the endorsement came after a long debate in which contractors concluded that the Employee Free Choice Act will be in the best interest of both workers and employers in the masonry industry. ICE and the Bricklayers frequently collaborate on issues like training, workplace safety, health coverage and pensions. These contractors join more than a thousand businesses around the country that have expressed support for the Employee Free Choice Act.
Support the Employee Free Choice Act

Let your US Congress Representative & Senator know that you support the Employee Free Choice Act. Senate Bill - S.842 /House Resolution - H.R. 1696.  If this passes congress it will make it much easier for Unions to organize non-union employers.  Unions would only have to show the majority of employees have signed bargaining card and employers would have to negotiate, no election necessary!  Watch a video on the EFCA.
