A new message from your friends at People For the American Way.

***********************
Working class and middle class families in the United States deserve
income security and should be able to organize their co-workers to demand
living wages and healthy working conditions. In a time when the richest
Americans' wealth growth has increased by over 200% while wages remain
stagnant for the rest of us, we need our lawmakers to protect workers’
rights.

signing the petition today>>

To fight on behalf of workers' rights, Democrats Rep. Bobby Scott and
Senator Patty Murray introduced the Protecting the Right to Organize Act
in Congress. If passed, the PRO Act would provide millions of workers
across the country with additional protections to organize and
collectively bargain.

More specifically, the legislation will:

* Penalize employers that interfere with their employees' organizing
efforts,

* Make explicitly clear that employers cannot interfere with employee
unionization voting procedures,

* Enhance support for worker strikes and boycotts, and

* Close loopholes in federal employment and labor laws.

This legislation is an important step towards closing the gap between
current unionization rates and the percentage of workers who wish to be in
a union.

It's time for our lawmakers to show their support for working people and
families across the country.

Thank you,

- Zach, PFAW
