_{^{Please watch the above video on the growing problem of Food Access New Yorkers & the entire country continues to face everyday.}}

The United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 1500 has a long and successful history of representing workers throughout the Metropolitan New York area. It is a story of a Union that has shown a steady growth of membership and find contracts.

According to a recent article in the Wall Street Journal, Wal-Mart has been threatening employees that if they vote for pro-worker candidates like Barack Obama in November, the Employee Free Choice Act will pass, making it easier to form unions in Wal-Mart stores.

Telling employees how to vote in a U.S. election is not only morally reprehensible, it's potentially illegal. For more information on this check out American Rights at Work.org.
