From AFL-CIO blog:
Over the past week, USAS has held regional conferences for students concerned with workers’ rights. As part of the USAS Mid-Atlantic Regional Conference, students from around Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Maryland and the District of Columbia on March 27 attended a rally at Penn State University to demand passage of the Employee Free Choice Act. This past weekend, hundreds of students attended the Southeast Regional Conference in Decatur, Ga.
The enthusiasm of thousands of students around the country is yet another critical element in passing the Employee Free Choice Act.

Poltico provides a realistic assessment:
“The workplace has changed dramatically since the 1930s,” said Peter
Morici, a University of Maryland labor and business law expert. “In
some sectors, like the auto industry, unions today can be perceived as
imposing risks on workers rather than security.”
