The PRO Act isn’t just any bill—it’s civil rights legislation. It helps protect women, immigrants, people of color and the LGBTQ+ community, and is an economic stimulus. It lifts the wages of workers, creating opportunities for working people that have been ignored as the wealth gap has widened. It’s a generational opportunity for the nearly 60 million workers who want to join a union but haven’t found the path to get there under current law.
The PRO Act will:
1. Empower workers to organize and bargain, and ensure that workers can reach a first contract quickly after a union is recognized.
2. End employers' practice of punishing striking workers by hiring permanent replacements. Speaking up for labor rights is within every worker's rights - and no worker should lose their job for it.
3. Hold corporations accountable by strengthening the National Labor Relations Board and allowing it to penalize employers who retaliate against working people who support the union or collective bargaining.
4. Repeal "right to work" laws - divisive and racist laws created during the Jim Crow era - that lead to lower wages, fewer benefits and more dangerous workplaces.
5. Create pathways for workers to form unions, without fear, in newer industries like Big Tech.
