BREAKING NEWS: The Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act has been introduced in the U.S. House and Senate. Call your member of Congress right now and tell them to pass this vital piece of legislation for working people!
Working people fought to elect pro-worker lawmakers to the Senate, House and White House. They gave us their word they would make the PRO Act a top priority. Thank you to Senator Tammy Baldwin, Representative Gwen Moore, Representative Mark Pocan, and Representative Ron Kind for co-sponsoring the PRO Act. We call on the entire Wisconsin congressional delegation to support this vital legislation.

The PRO Act is a generational opportunity to update our labor laws and the cornerstone of the AFL-CIO’s Workers First Agenda. If it passes, it would:
- Empower workers to organize and bargain.
- Hold corporations accountable for union-busting.
- Repeal “right to work” laws, which were created during the Jim Crow era to keep White and Black workers from unionizing together.
- Create pathways for workers to form unions without fear and ensure that workers can reach a first contract quickly after a union is recognized.
Stronger unions mean higher wages, safer working conditions and dignity for all people who work. Passing the PRO Act will be our first step in getting there.
