This past Tuesday was a huge step forward for the labor
movement.

The Protecting the Right to Organize Act, H.R. 842, known as the PRO Act,
passed in the House with a 225 to 206 vote and will be moving on to the
Senate.

Passing this bill in the House shows that Congress recognizes the need to
strengthen protections for the working people of this country and their
right to organize unions and bargain collectively.

Now, we need the Senate to follow suit. [ [link removed] ]Will you take a moment to send
a message to Sens. Casey and Toomey right now urging them to vote YES on the PRO
Act to protect the rights of workers to organize?

The PRO Act will strengthen protections in numerous ways for workers who
want to unionize, including: 

* Increasing punishment for employers who violate workers’ rights 
* Preventing employers from holding captive audience meetings where
highly paid anti-union consultants are brought in to dissuade workers
from supporting the union 
* Enhancing the right of workers to support boycotts, strikes, and other
acts of solidarity
* Allowing unions to collect “fair share” fees for every worker it
represents

Everyday, National Nurses United is working to strengthen our union as we
stand up to corporate greed and advocate on behalf of our patients; create
safer working conditions that are needed now more than ever during
Covid-19; and demand fair wages to promote a more equitable economy. 

Because of union protections, we have been able to expose unconscionable
hospital practices that endanger the lives of patients and nurses, win
crucial protections for nurses and patients, and put hospitals on notice —
and this bill will help us support even more nurses to organize and
exercise their workplace rights.

legislation that would protect nurses and all workers to use our
collective voices in the workplace.

Let’s keep fighting,

National Nurses United
