On March 5, Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Bobby Scott reintroduced the ABC-opposed PRO Act in the 119th Congress. ABC issued a statement opposing the PRO Act. The ABC-led Coalition for a Democratic Workplace also sent a letter and statement to the Hill urging members Congress to oppose the bill.
On Feb. 12, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., reintroduced the ABC-supported National Right to Work Act. The bill would prevent workers from being forced to join a union or pay union dues as a condition of employment, protecting the free choice of individual employees.
On July 25, the ABC-led Coalition for a Democratic Workplace testified before a House subcommittee on the Protecting the Right to Organize Act (H.R. 2474), which would jeopardize workers’ privacy, constitutional rights and freedoms if passed. This legislation currently has 186 Democrat cosponsors and is essentially a “union boss wish list,” as Ranking Member Tim Walberg (R-Mich.) described it in his opening statement.
