Bipartisan Labor Leaders Introduce Bill to Protect Workers' Right to Organize

Led by House Education and Workforce Committee Leader, Robert C. "Bobby" Scott, a bipartisan group of House and Senate Members reintroduced H.R. 20, the Richard L. Trumka Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, a comprehensive proposal to protect workers’ right to come together and bargain for higher wages, better benefits, and safer workplaces. Unions are critical to increasing wages and creating a strong economy that rewards hardworking people. Through the power of bargaining, the typical union worker earns 16 percent more than the typical non-union worker.
