A Citizen's Petition to:
My U.S. Senators and Representative
Whereas:
Every year militant union bosses deploy their thugs to target innocent
men and women with threats, brass knuckles, knives and beatings in an
attempt to send a simple message -- do what we want, or pay the price;
and
Whereas:
Because of the 1973 Enmons decision, union officials are exempt
from federal prosecution -- as long as the campaign of violence they
incite is in the name of "legitimate union objectives"; and
Whereas:
Union violence is a crippling blow not only for innocent American
workers targeted by union militants -- but for every American citizen;
and
Whereas:
Passage of the Freedom from Union Violence Act would close the loophole
in federal law and finally allow authorities to prosecute union
officials for inciting violence;
Therefore:
I urge you to help hold union officials accountable for union violence
by cosponsoring and seeking roll-call votes on the Freedom from Union
Violence Act.
