Please help us change the way union leaders do business, so that they will be more accountable to their members, more responsible to society, and spend less money on political causes their own members don't agree with.

We don't have the luxury of forced dues to pay for our ads, web site, and research. Please make a donation today.

At the same time they are trying to deny American employees a democratic, secret ballot vote to decide whether or not they want to join a union. We need your help to continue our public education campaign.

Under protection of law, all contributions are held in strict confidence and your privacy is guaranteed.
