“We need to empower workers by passing the PRO Act,” said Rick Gallo, President of the Kenosha AFL-CIO and member of APWU Local 840. “It’s unfortunate and unacceptable that Senator Ron Johnson continues to refuse to meet with workers to discuss how the PRO Act will help strengthen our middle class. We will continue to call on Senator Ron Johnson to support the PRO Act because we need a workers-first economy where anyone who works hard and plays by the rules can get ahead.”
Wisconsin workers are raising our voices to pass the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act to give workers a fair shake in forming strong unions. We’re sending Senator Johnson vacation-style postcard messages from iconic spots around the state urging him to co-sponsor and vote YES on this vital pro-worker legislation. Above Rick and Paula Gallo, President and Secretary-Treasurer of the Kenosha AFL-CIO and both members of APWU “meet” with Senator Ron Johnson at the Mars Cheese Castle in Kenosha.
The PRO Act passed the House with bipartisan support last March. Now, it’s time for the Senate to act.
The PRO Act will update federal labor law to better support workers who want to organize and form a union. Working people around the country are participating in a week of action July 17-25 with actions in all 50 states to hold our Senators accountable and call for the passage of the PRO Act. Join a Pass the PRO Act action near you. Support remains steady and strong with 61% of Americans backing the PRO Act. That coalition includes nearly 60% of independents and 40% of Republicans.
Let Senator Ron Johnson know that you support the PRO Act. Give him a call today!
