The Workforce Fairness Institute (WFI) is an organization committed to educating voters, employers, employees and citizens about issues affecting the workplace.
WFI is funded by and advocates on behalf of business owners who enjoy good working relationships with their employees, and would like to maintain those good relationships without the unfair interference of government bureaucrats, union organizers and special interests. These business owners recognize that if you treat your employees with fairness, respect and dignity, you will have a stable workforce and a profitable company. WFI does not represent any one business or industry.
The goal of WFI is to educate the public on issues related to workforce fairness, and to build greater public awareness of efforts that interfere with the good employer/employee relationships that most businesses enjoy. WFI will inform employers and employees about issues and pending legislation which could upset the balance within their workplace and will educate them about how to take action to prevent it.
WFI is NOT anti-Union. We believe that employees have the right to organize if they believe that it would improve their work life. We strongly believe in fair workplace elections, where both sides have the ability to share information and educate employees. Most importantly, we believe that employees must be permitted to cast their vote in private.
Currently WFI is focused on educating the public on the damaging effects of the deceptively named “Employee Free Choice Act” or “card check”. EFCA is an attempt to undermine the democratic system that Americans hold dear through the elimination of the private ballot in workplace elections. It also jeopardizes the employer/employee relationship by putting government bureaucrats in the workplace to mediate labor agreements. These are just a few of the negative consequences of EFCA that its proponents don’t want to talk about.
