Jack, as wealthy corporations like Starbucks, Apple, and Amazon rake in record profits, wages for their workers haven't caught up.
But instead of ensuring better working conditions and compensation for the labor that ensures hefty profits, these same companies have attempted to stop workers from collective bargaining—threatening workers who try to organize a union with plant closings, outsourcing, firing, or other forms of retaliation.
The rights to organize and collectively bargain are essential to create an economy that works for all of us. Tell Congress: Pass the PRO Act to protect workers' rights!

While billion-dollar corporations line their own pockets before paying the people who keep their businesses alive, millions of working Americans struggle to make ends meet.
For decades, corporate conservatives have rigged the system against working people by weakening our labor laws. This has led to lower wages, unsafe working conditions, and increased inequality. Strong labor unions lead to higher wages, safer working conditions, and dignity for all workers.
The PRO Act would make it easier for workers to exercise their right to unionize and bargain collectively for better pay, benefits, and working conditions, while holding corporations accountable for violating workers’ rights.
Unions help workers win better pay, better sick leave, better flex time, and more. Tell Congress: Pass the PRO Act to protect workers' rights!
