We’ve got to keep raising our voices and get the PRO Act through Congress to
strengthen workers' rights. So please add your name if you agree: It’s time to
pass the PRO Act immediately.

If you enjoyed your long weekend, thank the labor movement.
And if you spent some of your time enjoying a movie or TV show, thank the
working people who create the stories we love.
This Labor Day, I joined a Greater Boston Labor Council rally with
SAG-AFTRA — a union that’s on strike right now, along with the Writers
Guild of America. These artists, creators, writers, and storytellers are
raising their voices and striking in order to earn the pay they deserve
from the studios they work with. Because it’s way too hard for way too
many of them to make ends meet. Nearly 90% of SAG-AFTRA members are
scraping by on less than $27,000 a year — while Disney CEO Bob Iger took
home a whopping $27 million last year. That’s a little over $519,000 a
week.
These workers are joining a renaissance of strikes and union organizing
drives we’ve seen lately — nurses, teachers, tech workers, baristas,
retail workers, and more. I’m inspired by these brave union members
putting their livelihoods on the line to fight for each other and to fight
for families across the country. Every union victory builds momentum for
more wins and puts power in the hands of working people, where it belongs.
Understand, this strike is about pay — but it is about so much more.
This fight is about whether the giant corporations can use AI to steal the
work of writers and actors.
This fight is about the risk that every working person may face in the
next few years, that some corporate CEO will decide to boost profits by
stealing their work and not paying for it.
This fight is about the future of work.
And in this fight, CEOs and corporations have lots of money. CEOs and
corporations have lots of influence. And they’re fighting back hard.
So we need to pass the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, which
would crack down on union-busting, make it easier to organize a union,
force more employers to the bargaining table, and strengthen the right to
walk out of the workplace and onto the picket line.
This would be the strongest pro-worker law in decades.

We can’t count on billionaire CEOs to support workers out of the goodness
of their hearts. We need to demand real change — from picket lines to
ballot boxes to the halls of Congress.
I’m staying in this fight all the way. And when we fight side by side, we
make each other stronger.
Thanks for being a part of this,
Elizabeth
