Congressman Charles Wilson spoke to a crowd this evening in Reno, on a bill that he says would "level the playing field."

Wilson spoke at the Electrical Workers Union Hall, about the employee Free of Choice Act.

If passed, this bill would create a system to forming or joining labor organizations.

Wilson says he also wants to hear about the labor issues that concern Ohioans, because jobs are the most important issue in the state.

"Jobs is what it's all about right now. All people want in this Ohio Sixth Congressional District is a job and an opportunity to do well for themselves. And if we can provide the education for our children they don't have the reasons to have to leave home because they'll have job and employment right here. That's what we are trying to do," Wilson says.

Wilson also says they are working very hard in Congress, on issues ranging from student loan interest, to keeping the country safe from terrorists.
