Tell Sen. Warner To Sign Onto & Support the PRO Act
Senator Mark Warner is one of 5 Democratic Senators NOT supporting the PRO Act. He is the ONLY Federal Elected Official from Virginia not voting for the PRO act as well. It is incredibly important for Virginians to reach out to his office and tell him that he needs to support this bill.
The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act last year, but anti-worker legislators in the Senate blocked it. Undeterred, working people fought to elect pro-worker lawmakers to the Senate, House and White House. And we won.
Lawmakers gave us their word they would make the PRO Act a top priority. It’s time for them to keep that promise. The House passed the PRO Act for a second time on March 9, 2021, sending the bill to the U.S. Senate.
The PRO Act is the cornerstone of the AFL-CIO’s Workers First Agenda. If it passes, it would:
Empower workers to organize and bargain.
Hold corporations accountable for union-busting.
Repeal “right to work” laws, which were created during the Jim Crow era to keep White and Black workers from organizing together.
Stronger unions mean higher wages, safer working conditions and dignity for all people who work. The PRO Act is our first step to get there.
Use the form and we’ll connect you to Mark Warner's office. Tell him to vote “yes” on the PRO Act.
