Get updated on the PRO Act: Amazon vote + infrastructure package
Hi Friend,
I wanted to share some interesting developments with you regarding the PRO Act.
Amazon Vote
Last week, Amazon workers at an Alabama warehouse rejected unionizing. The vote was significant: nearly 3 out of 4 Amazon workers voted AGAINST unionizing, a clear rebuke of what the unions claim to offer.
Some factors played a role in this decision: the pay at Amazon is double the state’s minimum wage, Amazon provides benefits like health insurance, and there’s great availability of jobs, especially during the pandemic.
Plus, union dues leave workers with less of their own money and no guarantees of better outcomes. And they often force union members to support causes and candidates they may oppose.
This will have huge implications on efforts to unionize other Amazon warehouses and retailers… and it spells trouble for the far left’s aggressive pro-union campaign, particularly the PRO Act.
"The PRO Act, which is also supported by the same union bosses seeking to organize businesses across the country, would hurt small businesses as they struggle to survive during the pandemic and strip employees of their privacy and vital rights to make a choice on their own if they want to join a union.”
- Kristen Swearingen, chair of the Coalition for a Democratic Workplace
Infrastructure Package
President Biden has made the union bosses’ agenda, particularly the right to organize, a central part of his legislative agenda. And he has made the PRO Act his signature focus of these efforts.
In fact, Biden recently included the union-boosting, Democrat-backed PRO Act in his $2 trillion “infrastructure package.” It’s ironic, as the PRO Act is one of the most anti-worker policies in history. It would be devastating to workers, and it would hurt workers’ rights and freedoms.
American workers increasingly enjoy more opportunities, freedoms, and flexibility, in addition to greater pay and benefits, thanks to our evolving economy, free enterprise, and innovation. They don’t need unions to negotiate what they are able to secure for themselves.
Let’s show the union bosses and special interests that we want and value our flexibility and freedom by getting Congress to REJECT the PRO Act.
