The “Turn Around Arkansas” coalition is rallying at Sen. Blanche Lincoln’s Little Rock office in an attempt to push her toward approving the Employee Free Choice Act, labor’s highest legislative priority.

The coalition, with members such as ACORN, Sierra Club, and the AFL-CIO, is hosting a 24-hour vigil, delivering hundreds of hand-written letters asking for support of the bill, and then rallying at the Arkansas Statehouse on Thursday.

Lincoln came out against the bill “in its current form” at a meeting of the Political Animals Club in early April, and has said her door is open to a possible compromise, yet one has not been offered by either labor or business.
