Sign if you agree: Union YES!

Friend, House Democrats just [passed]( the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act ― critical labor law reform legislation that would help restore workers’ rights to join a union and bargain for better wages, benefits, and safer workplaces. Now the bill is headed to the Senate. As long as the filibuster remains intact, we will need every Democrat and at least 10 Republicans to pass the PRO Act. Help clear a path for this game-changing legislation by sharing your support for it with your U.S. senators.

Amazon's union-busting efforts reflect a wide range of legal and illegal tactics U.S. companies routinely use to suppress the rights of their workers to form unions and collectively bargain with their employers. Whether we are Black, brown or white, young or old, in big cities or small towns, we work hard for our families and our future. The PRO Act would close loopholes in current law that allow employers to get away with efforts to undermine working people, forcing so many of us to work paycheck-to-paycheck at unsafe worksites. It is the most significant worker empowerment legislation since the Great Depression. Key elements [include](: - Giving workers more control; - Imposing real penalties when employers break the law; - Creating a roadmap to a first union contract; - Strengthening workers' ability to strike; - Repealing “right to work” laws.

It's time to put power back into the hands of people who power our economy. House Democrats have passed the bill and President Biden is ready to sign it into law. So now we need to get it through the Senate. If we can make this happen, workers’ right to form a union and bargain collectively will be protected for generations.
