John,
We wanted to make sure you saw AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka’s (UMWA) op-ed in CNN yesterday.
President Biden said he wants to give unions more power under his administration. And he said that unions create economic growth and good-paying jobs.
We couldn’t agree more.
Did you know the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act was passed by the House of Representatives on Feb. 6, 2020—then anti-worker legislators in the Senate completely blocked it.
The Senate could have voted on legislation that:
- Protects our right to form unions.
- Repeals “right to work” laws.
- Sets penalties for companies that try to bust unions.
And it didn’t.
With this new Congress, we have a real shot at making the PRO Act the law of the land.
Let’s take it.
In Solidarity,
Team AFL-CIO
