Member of Coalition for Democratic Workplaces gave Norm Coleman $308,000

The anti-union, anti-labor, anti-worker organization Coalition for a Democratic Workplace recently released an ad on YouTube which will be playing throughout Minnesota in August. Despite their name, they are not for more democracy in the workplace. They are opposed to the Employee Free Choice Act because of any number of reasons they fail to mention. One might be because of the penalties it imposes on employers who try to intimidate and quash union organizing efforts. They are trying to help out their buddy Norm Coleman because he also opposes worker rights, fair wages and unions.

The advertisement deceptively claims that allowing majority sign-up as a method for showing support for joining a union eliminates an election, which is false and misleading. Recognizing majority sign-up still allows workers the right to petition for an election, and leaves workers free to make that choice by simply removing an employer’s ability to dictate the means by which workers can choose to join a union.

In fact, labor leaders explained this difference to Coleman’s staff before Coleman’s 2007 vote to block the Employee Free Choice Act from coming to a vote in the Senate. Senator Coleman, however, has continued to parrot the false special-interest talking point.

But there is another way they've helped out Norm Coleman. Member organizations have given Norm over $300,000:

According to the Federal Election Commission and the Center for Responsive Politics, Coleman’s campaigns have accepted $308,992 in contributions from the political action committees of national interest groups listed as members of the Coalition for a Democratic Workplace.
