This week, the House of Representatives will consider H.R. 842, the “Protecting the Right to Organize Act of 2021 (PRO Act).” The wide-sweeping labor bill was passed by the House in 2019, but was not considered by the Senate. While it is expected to pass the House again, even with Democrats now controlling the Senate it is not expected to be brought to the floor for consideration in the chamber. NCA, along with more than 100 other organizations, has signed onto a letter opposing the PRO Act. Among its provisions, the legislation would allow a modified form of card-check for union organizers, eliminate state right to work laws and strip employers of certain protections during union organizing activity.
