Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act

Mar. 9, 2021 | H.R. 842

The Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act is landmark worker empowerment, civil rights and economic stimulus legislation. It would hold employers accountable when they violate workers’ rights and ensure that most workers are protected under the National Labor Relations Act. It would also protect collective action and strengthen employees’ bargaining rights so they can negotiate for higher wages, better benefits, a safer workplace and a more secure retirement. 

Finally, the bill would modernize the union election and enforcement process to protect against years of systematic corporate attempts to weaken elections. This bill passed the House on March 9, 2021.
