The Pro ACT. What is it?
The Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act restores fairness to the economy by strengthen the federal laws that protect worker’s right to join a union. Here are some of the things it provides workers;
- It introduces meaningful, enforceable penalties for companies and executives that violate workers’ rights.
- Expands workers collective bargaining rights and closing loopholes that corporations use to exploit workers.
- Strengthens worker’s access to fair union elections and requiring corporations to respect the results.
- Streamlines access to justice for workers who suffer relations for exercising their rights.
- Authorizes a private right of action for violations of workers’ rights.
- Gives workers the power to override so called “right to work” laws that prevent unions from collecting dues from the workers they represent.
- Enhances workers right to support boycotts, strikes and other acts of solidarity.
- Close loopholes in the labor law that erode workers’ rights.
- Prevents employers form interfering in union elections.
- Facilitates initial collective bargaining agreements.
- Increases transparency in labor-management relations.
