Take Action! We need the PRO Act NOW!

 

Today is the AFL-CIO National Day of Action for the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act.

Our U.S. Sens. Bob Menendez and Cory Booker have always supported working people, and they continue to make their support clear by co-sponsoring the PRO Act.

Let’s show them how much we appreciate their pro-union stances, and then ask them to urge their Senate colleagues also to vote YES.

Our outdated labor laws are no longer strong enough to protect us in the workplace. 

High-profile corporations openly union-bust without facing consequences. Anti-worker lawmakers have passed wage-killing and racist right to work laws in 27 states. Inequality has skyrocketed as workers have been denied a voice on the job.

The PRO Act would change that. 

It’s the most significant worker empowerment legislation since the Great Depression. And it’s also a civil rights and economic stimulus bill. If we can get this passed, working people will thrive for generations to come.

It passed the House on March 9 with bipartisan support, and President Biden has urged Congress to send it to his desk. The Senate is the final obstacle.

So let’s flood the Senate phone lines with support for the PRO Act. Please call our senators to say thank you and urge them to lobby the holdouts.
