Employee Free Choice Act
CWA asked all presidential candidates the following question in the CWA candidate questionnaire:
We would like to hear specifically what you would do as president to lead the fight to get the Employee Free Choice Act past the hurdle of a Senate filibuster and onto your desk for signature. We are happy to celebrate the passage of the minimum wage increase as part of appropriations legislation, and would ask if you would consider that or a similar approach to restoration of collective bargaining rights for American workers.

Good Jobs
CWA asked all presidential candidates the following question in the CWA candidate questionnaire:
Most nations have a trade policy that encourages employment at home. We have none, and we are witnessing a trade deficit of more than $700 billion annually while American jobs continue to vanish offshore. Please detail some specific steps you would offer to cut the trade deficit and help spur the retention and growth of jobs in this country.
