The Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act passed in the U.S. House with bipartisan support, and President Biden has urged Congress to send it to his desk.
Before that can happen, we have to pass it through the Senate.
Wisconsin workers are participating in a nationwide week of action from April 24 to May 1 to call on the Senate to pass the PRO Act.

Wisconsin actions to pass the PRO Act include a news event at the State Capitol on Monday, rallies, cookouts, letter writing campaigns, workplace actions, calls to Senators, Worker Memorial Day Observances, May Day marches for worker and immigrant rights, and our virtual rally with U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin, economist Gordon Lafer, and workers involved in new organizing on Thursday, April 29, at 3:00 p.m.
RSVP for our virtual to pass the PRO Act with Senator Tammy Baldwin at wisaflcio.org/mobilize.
The PRO Act empowers working people to organize and bargain in the workplace. It also sets consequences for union-busting corporations. It’s the most significant worker empowerment legislation since the Great Depression. And it’s also a civil rights and economic stimulus bill. If we can get this passed, working people will thrive for generations to come.
