House Democrats Pass Bill That Would Protect Worker Organizing Efforts

House Democrats have approved a bill that would provide protections for workers trying to organize, a measure that is the labor movement's single biggest legislative priority in this Congress.

The bill passed Tuesday with a 225-206 vote, with five Republicans joining Democrats in favor of it. The bill is unlikely to advance in the Senate, given a lack of Republican support for the legislation.

Union leaders say the Protecting the Right to Organize Act — PRO Act — would finally begin to level a playing field they say is unfairly tilted toward big business and management, making union organizing drives and elections unreasonably difficult.

"The PRO Act would protect and empower workers to exercise our freedom to organize a bargain," Richard Trumka, the president of the AFL-CIO, told NPR in a recent interview. "It's a game changer. If you really want to correct inequality in this country — wages and wealth inequality, opportunity and inequality of power — passing the PRO Act is absolutely essential to doing that."

This is an EFCA 2.0..

I will be writing threads in the future on the importance of this legislation.

This is progress defined!

Biden is sponsoring this FDR-like progressive legislation.

Biden is becoming a progressive fighter and hero to me.

I'm an old cranky yellow-dog. For Biden to impress an old crank like me says something..

Positive.

salute to Biden!!
