Take Action: Tell Your Senators to Support Workers and Pass the PRO Act

Working people should be paid fairly for their work, have safe working conditions and time off to spend with their families. They shouldn’t be punished for coming together and speaking up for these rights. The Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act will protect workers’ right to speak up for themselves on the job.

While employers are getting trillions of dollars in bailout money to offset the impacts of the COVID-19 crisis, many workers are deemed essential and forced to continue working in unsafe conditions with little or no protection.

Workers are fighting for and winning Personal Protective Equipment, additional sick leave, hazard pay or in some cases forcing their employers to temporarily suspend work until it is safe to return. This is the fight of our lives.

Are you ready to take action to protect yourself and your co-workers? We can help.
