Hi John,
By Wednesday night, the Senate will vote on the confirmation of National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Chair Lauren McFerran.
If McFerran is confirmed, the NLRB will maintain a pro-worker majority at least through August 2026. With an incoming Trump administration, it is all the more important that we act now. To protect workers’ right to organize and collectively bargain, it is critical that McFerran be confirmed.
That’s why we need as many people as possible to call their senators to ask them to confirm her nomination today.
Will you make a call to protect the NLRB’s pro-worker majority? Enter your information on the petition page to receive a call or dial 855-873-8618.
When Donald Trump selects a majority of the NLRB, workers’ rights will be immediately at risk.
His Project 2025 agenda seeks to weaken workers’ rights to organize, and Trump himself was filmed praising business owners who unlawfully fired striking workers.
If McFerran is not confirmed in December, Trump will control the board starting in January, and the promised rollback of workers’ rights at the behest of Big Business will begin.
That is why it is critical that as many pro-worker supporters as possible call their senators to ask them to confirm Lauren McFerran. Please call now.
Thank you for taking the time to call in support of workers. —> go.aflcio.org/mcferran
