Because I Get My Political Advice From Baseball Players…

With the World Series as a backdrop, the Major League Baseball Players Association- which is a member of the AFL-CIO- released an ad featuring nine baseball players who support the Employee Free Choice Act.

The ad states:

“[A]ll Americans should have the same opportunity we’ve had -- to be able to join a union without being fired and to negotiate with their employers without being penalized. Today, our country is facing some tough times. Health care costs are skyrocketing. Families are losing homes. Savings and retirement income are disappearing overnight. Now more than ever, we need a strong union movement to protect our jobs, our pensions, and our future. The Employee Free Choice Act simply guarantees a level playing field for all workers. It makes sure everyone plays by the same rules. That’s as important in the workplace as it is in baseball.”

The ad features a variety of players including three competing in this years fall classic- Jimmy Rollins, Mark Teixeira and Shane Victorino. Some of the others players; not so much… J.J. Putz anybody?
