SOME 60 MILLION WORKERS would vote to join a union today, yet for far too many, America’s outdated labor laws are no longer effective at ensuring our freedom to make our voices heard. The Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act is transformative civil rights, economic stimulus and labor law reform legislation that would give workers more power and prosperity. Here’s what it would do:

● Hold corporations accountable for union-busting

● Protect workers’ rights to form and join unions freely and fairly

● Repeal Jim Crow “right to work” laws that lower wages and reduce benefits

● Ensure workers can reach a first contract quickly after a union is recognized

● End employers’ practice of punishing striking workers by hiring permanent replacements

Let’s change the power dynamics in America and give working people a real say in our future. The PRO Act will create pathways for workers to form unions, without fear, regardless of region

and industry. Stronger unions mean higher wages, safer working conditions and dignity for all. And when working people have the freedom to make our voices heard, America is stronger and our democracy is more secure.

The House of Representatives passed the PRO Act on March 9 in a bipartisan vote. President Biden has asked the Senate to send the PRO Act to his desk. It’s time for the Senate to stand with working people and President Biden and protect the right to organize.
