No matter how you cut it, it's just not right. America’s workers are putting in more hours than ever and still struggling to make ends meet. Meanwhile, the CEOs of large U.S. companies averaged $10.8 million in total compensation in 2006, more than 364 times the pay of the average worker, according to the latest survey by the group United for a Fair Economy.

So how do we level the playing field and get our economy back on track? Rebuilding the middle class is the place to start.

The Employee Free Choice Act can help reclaim the American Dream by restoring workers' freedom to form unions and bargain for a brighter future. Our recent success at UPS Freight demonstrates the desire of Americans to join unions once an employer's union-busting tactics are neutralized.

For nearly 50 years, Overnite Transportation fought unionization. But once UPS bought Overnite, and the Teamsters won a neutrality agreement from the newly formed UPS Freight, more than 11,000 drivers and dockworkers signed authorization cards to join the union in just 12 weeks.

Our goal is to give all workers that same freedom. The freedom to choose a union without interference from their employers. We want to gather signatures and photos in support of this bill—1 million voices calling for passage of the Employee Free Choice Act. But 1 million people is a lot. We won't reach our goal without your help and the help of your friends and family.

Please support this bill and help us reach our goal of 1 million signatures—sign the petition today:

Teamsters Local 1108 provides professional pilot representation in the Fractional Aircraft Ownership segment of the aviation industry whereby business aircraft usage is divided into fractions and marketed as shares. Union leadership anticipates strong growth for the foreseeable future in the industry, which ultimately translates into continued growth in Union membership.

The Union is focused on the professional representation of pilots with a stated mission of securing and enhancing job security, wages, benefits, and work rules governing professional aviators. The Local Union Executive Board is committed to defending a profession that is continuously under corporate attack by demanding a safety-conscious work environment as well as a compensation schedule and benefits package commensurate with industry standards.

Leadership is committed to advocating for a safe work environment, ensuring contract compliance, seeking dispute resolution, providing timely, relevant membership communication, sharing information, developing and offering on-site and web-based education programs, preparing for and participating in collective bargaining, initiating family awareness campaigns, making self-help preparations, organizing fellow pilot groups, and promoting professional standards.

The simplicity of the Local 1108 operating philosophy has proved successful: The Union is a democratic organization committed to representing the membership. As such, it is the responsibility of the elected officers, staff, and volunteers to represent the collective needs of the pilot group. This philosophy has generated a significant amount of pilot support which has translated into a culture of unity, pride and strength. An informed, educated, and empowered pilot group supported by a Union who listens, responds, develops and executes has proved to be very effective. Continued expansion and reinforcement of this level of unity, pride and strength will empower leadership to make unprecedented gains on the membership’s behalf.
