Friend,

The best way to strengthen the middle class is clear: Strengthen unions.

That's why I just introduced the Protecting the Right to Organize Act -- the PRO Act. We're standing strong with working people across America. If you're with me, sign your name now to support American workers.

Big corporations have seen record profits, but wages for their workers haven't caught up.

One reason why is that corporations have devised schemes to undermine or avoid unions. They try to line their own pockets before paying the people who keep their business alive. We won't stand for it.

Millions of working Americans deserve better. Better pay, better sick leave, better flex time, and beyond -- and the best way for workers to have a say is by speaking together as a union.

The PRO Act would empower workers to fight back against anti-union practices and ensure companies can't misclassify workers to avoid paying them benefits. These are common-sense reforms -- but corporate Republicans are already speaking out against workers' rights. We need to stand strong.

It was unions that created the middle class, and it will be unions that strengthen it. If you believe we must stand up for workers and finally strengthen unions, sign your name now.

Onward,

Chuck Schumer
