Anti-worker “right to work” laws remain a threat in many states and Black, brown, and Indigenous essential workers are working more high-COVID risk jobs without basic protections and benefits. It’s time for immediate action on a federal level so all workers have a fair chance at organizing their labor.

If passed, the PRO Act would provide millions of workers across the country with additional protections to organize and collectively bargain.
More specifically, the legislation will:

More specifically, the legislation will:
- Penalize employers that interfere with their employees’ organizing efforts,
- Make explicitly clear that employers cannot interfere with employee unionization voting procedures,
- Enhance support for worker strikes and boycotts, and
- Close loopholes in federal employment and labor laws.
