Labor Caucus Celebrates the Introduction of the Richard L. Trumka Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act

WASHINGTON, DC — Today, Labor Caucus Co-Chairs Representatives Debbie Dingell (D-MI), Steven Horsford (D-NV), Donald Norcross (D-NJ), Mark Pocan (D-WI), and Linda Sánchez (D-CA) celebrate the introduction of the Richard L. Trumka Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act (H.R. 20), which was introduced today. They released the following statement:

“We are proud to support the Richard L. Trumka Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act,” the Labor Caucus Co-Chairs said. “This critical, bipartisan legislation will ensure all workers have the right to organize and collectively raise their voices for dignity and respect.”

“The PRO Act would reverse decades of anti-union policies, strengthening the labor movement,” the Co-Chairs continued. “It empowers workers to join a union, holds companies accountable for obstructing unionization efforts by creating enforceable penalties, and ensures free and fair union elections.”

“This bill will help make sure every worker that wants to join a union can. Union membership is an essential pathway to the middle class and with the PRO Act, we can ensure every worker’s rights are protected.”
