John,
For years, Amazon has disempowered workers by putting them in unsafe working conditions, forcing long hours for low pay -- and has even stooped as low as to union bust.
That's why Dwight recently joined his colleagues in demanding Amazon allow a free and fair election for workers trying to unionize -- and he didn't stop there.
The multi-billion-dollar union-busting industry continues to do everything in its power to deprive and attack workers' rights across the country. So Dwight co-sponsored the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act to take on these so-called "right-to-work" laws that de-prioritize safety in the workplace, and prevent workers from unionizing and striking.
The PRO Act is one of the most significant bills to strengthen workers' abilities to organize in the past 80 years -- and it's long overdue. Workers deserve dignity -- and the PRO Act allows for workers to build better lives without fear of retaliation from their employers. This legislation will:
- Impose financial penalties on companies that retaliate against organizers.
- Require the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to fast-track legal proceedings for workers suspended or fired for union activism.
- Empowers workers to file their own civil lawsuits for labor rights violations.
- Bar employers from permanently replacing workers during labor disputes.
Workers across the country could see a new day for their rights on the job -- especially as unions have stepped up to protect members during the COVID-19 pandemic. This critical legislation will help level the playing field and the decades-long legislative decay that has allowed companies like Amazon to benefit from exploiting workers.
If you're with Dwight in the fight to expand workers' rights, add your name as a grassroots supporter today.
Thanks,
Evans HQ
