“ABC Cares” is the P/R Committee initiative for community drives. Please help our local food banks and families in need by bringing nonperishable food items to the ABC Membership Events in March, April & September 2009. A table for food donations will be available at these events or feel free to drop off donations at the ABC office. Your contributions will be greatly appreciated.
Associated Builders and Contractors National (ABC) today launched a new website, TheTruthAboutEFCA.com, to help educate the public about the sweeping economic and workplace consequences of the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), or “card check” legislation. TheTruthAboutEFCA.com will track the latest news from the mainstream media and social networking sites, highlight academic studies and public opinion data, and contain video ads and interviews to expose EFCA's threat to the U.S. economy and an employee's right to a federally supervised private-ballot during union organizing activities.
“If the Employee Free Choice Act is signed into law, recent studies show that it will have a devastating impact on the U.S. economy and most likely result in the loss of jobs in the commercial and industrial construction industry,” said Jerry Gorski, 2009 ABC National Chairman and President of Gorski Engineering, Inc., Collegeville, Pa. “This new website is an important tool in keeping the public informed and getting them involved in the political process so they can voice their opposition to this legislation.”
TheTruthAboutEFCA.com is part of a multi-faceted new media campaign slated to help shed light on the “card check” issue and expose some of the misinformation being spread by EFCA supporters. Besides tracking the latest news on EFCA, the website contains a blog with contributions from ABC staff and special guests. The website is sponsored by the Free Enterprise Alliance, the issue advocacy arm of Associated Builders and Contractors.
