Friend,

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has just ruled that Amazon CEO
Andy Jassy broke labor rules when he went on a 2022 media anti-union media
tour.(1)

And that ruling won't likely make a bit of difference.

The NLRB is in charge of stopping union busting, but unfortunately, its
ability to actually enforce these rules is minimal. That's why employer
intimidation is found in 40% of attempts to unionize in this country.(2)

The PRO Act can make a huge difference in how workers unionize! The PRO
Act will empower workers to unionize and negotiate for better pay,
benefits, and working conditions while holding corporations accountable
for violating workers' rights. By passing the PRO Act, Congress can give
power back to working people.

This past year saw some of the strongest efforts to unionize in a
generation. Whether it be baristas, graduate students, auto workers, or
hospitality employees, workers are demanding better wages and working
conditions.

That's the good news. The bad news is that only 10% of unionizing efforts
will succeed when the employer resists.(3)

In fact, union busting is a $340 million industry, including hiring
"benefit consultants" to lie to employees about what unionizing will
accomplish, printing anti-union materials, installing surveillance
equipment to intimidate employees, and more.(4)

This is why the PRO Act is so crucial to efforts to unionize -- it would
give the NRLB the actual teeth it needs to enforce labor rules and stop
union busting.

Right now, only 10% of workers are unionized. We can change that number,
starting with asking Congress to pass the PRO Act.

Yours in the fight for workers' rights!
