Unions Drape EFCA Ads from D.C. Buildings

The AFL-CIO, American Rights at Work, and Change to Win are unveiling a new advertisement campaign entitled “Faces of the Employee Free Choice Act.” The Campaign was kicked off Tuesday, in an event on Capitol Hill in which workers and legislators were joined by actors Martin Sheen, Bradley Whitford, and Richard Schiff from the television show, The West Wing. According to Schiff, the actors were present to provide “celebrity lubrication” for the event. The new campaign promotes the EFCA through the faces and stories of individual workers and will feature 50-foot tall building banners displayed throughout Washington D.C. and will have billboard trucks drive around legislators’ home offices during this month’s Congressional recess.  Union spokespeople have said they are not sure how long the EFCA banners will hang from D.C. buildings.
