Our petition to Congress calling on them to Pass the PRO Act is less than
3,000 signers away from 25,000!

We need to hit this goal -- and hopefully exceed it! -- before our
signatures are added to the 110,000+ signatures already gathered by our
coalition partners and the AFL-CIO delivers the petition to Congress.

Please add your name right now!

 

Tell Congress:

"Pass the PRO Act and Protect Workers’ Rights now!"

John,

Yesterday news broke that the National Labor Relations Board said Amazon
interfered with the conditions necessary to conduct a fair election when
workers held a vote to unionize at a warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama.

This is unsurprising when, for years, labor laws have been chipped away
and weakened by anti-worker legislators.

Whether it’s Amazon warehouse workers in Alabama fighting to unionize or
workers at Frito-Lay in Kansas pushing to end mandatory overtime, it’s
clear that workers are in desperate need of legislation that will
strengthen their power to come together and fight for their rights... and
that’s what the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act does.

The House already passed its version of the PRO Act back in March and
President Biden supports it.

Now, It’s time for the Senate to act.

[ [link removed] ]Join DFA as we work with the AFL-CIO to demand Congress pass the PRO
Act, a historic piece of labor reform legislation that strengthens
workers' rights and advances their abilities to advocate for better
working conditions.

Pass the Pro Act: [link removed]

It’s been nearly 5 months since the House of Representatives passed
H.R.842, the PRO Act.

This is an absolutely critical law that gives power to workers by
restoring workers’ rights to unionize, giving them the ability to bargain
for higher wages, increased benefits, and safer workplace conditions.

Just think, if the PRO Act had already been in place when Amazon warehouse
workers were voting to unionize, the workers and the National Labor
Relations Board, not Amazon, would have controlled the timing of union
elections.

And if the PRO Act had already been in place when Frito-Lay workers went
on strike, the union could have had more power to negotiate a deal that
completely ended mandatory overtime while increasing pay and improving
working conditions.

The bottom line is that passing the PRO Act is essential for reigning in
the power corporations have over their workers.

[ [link removed] ]If you want to increase the power of workers to unionize and fight for
higher pay and benefits, then stand with DFA and demand Congress pass this
important legislation NOW!

The PRO Act makes it easier for workers to unionize and makes it harder
for companies to union-bust. Thank you for taking action in support of
workers today.
