Community Leaders Protest Chamber of Commerce "Campaign of Lies"

June 3, 2009

Please join community leaders gathering at the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce to tell them to Stand up for Main Street, Not Wall Street - Stop the Campaign of Lies and disassociate yourself from the divisive campaign of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

The National Chamber of Commerce has spent millions of dollars on television and print ads wrongly suggesting the Employee Free Choice Act will eliminate or prohibit a secret ballot election to form a union. Activists are urging their local Chambers to denounce these actions.

"It's one thing to have a difference of opinion about how people should form a union, but lying about what the Employee Free Choice Act will do is another," says Kyle Wulle, Chairman of Utah Jobs with Justice and member of United Steelworkers, Local 12-593. "We expect more from business leaders, and we are here to give local business leaders a chance to show leadership on the issue."

What: Rally at the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce

Where: 175 East 400 South, Salt Lake City

When: Wednesday, June 3, 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
