Friend,

We’re in the midst of a new era of empowerment for the American worker.
[ [link removed] ]Union election petitions are up 57% in the last six months, with
unionization efforts at Starbucks, Amazon, and Apple making headlines
nationwide.

But this improvement in working conditions could soon be stalled. Thanks
to inflation, economists estimate that we’re barreling towards a recession
in 2023. [ [link removed] ]The Federal Reserve is quick to blame rising wages, but they
miss the point; economies flourish when everyday people have the income to
increase their spending power and invest in their communities.

If we face a recession, there will be no doubt that working- and
middle-class Americans will bear the brunt of it, including mass layoffs,
job insecurity, and exploitation by employers. That’s why unions are so
critical in this moment of economic uncertainty, and why we can’t allow
corporations to interfere with workers’ right to organize.

[ [link removed] ]Sign if you agree: We need to demand that the Senate pass the
Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act to strengthen collective
bargaining rights and hold corporations accountable for violating workers'
rights.

Strong unions mean a strong middle class. They mean fair wages, benefits,
and better working conditions for everyone. But we can’t just sit back and
let union organizers do the hard work. We need to step up and stand with
them.

I have worked with unions for years, helping the United Auto Workers (UAW)
secure federal worker retraining grants and fighting for fair contracts
and labor practices with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU).
While serving in the Department of Commerce, I pushed to give labor unions
a stronger voice in influencing economic policy. But as we face what could
be even greater resistance to unionization in the months ahead, we need
Congress to take action to protect workers.

[ [link removed] ]Will you help us turn up the heat on the Senate and make the PRO Act
the law of the land?

In solidarity,
Ro
