Working people built this country, and they deserve fair wages, safe working conditions, and the right to organize. Strong unions create good jobs and strengthen the middle class.
- Pass the PRO Act:
- Protect the rights of workers to fairly and freely establish a union, allowing them to fight for more dignified working conditions and benefits.
- Protect the Right to Organize:
- Ensure workers can organize without fear of retaliation or interference from employers.
- Enforce Labor Protections:
- Strengthen enforcement of workplace safety standards and hold employers accountable for violations.
- Support Prevailing Wage Standards:
- Ensure workers on federal projects receive fair compensation that reflects local labor market standards.
- Prioritize Union Labor on Federal Projects:
- Reward companies that have allowed their workers to unionize by providing them with preference for federal contracts.
- Paid Family and Medical Leave:
- Establish a federal paid leave program so workers don’t have to choose between their paycheck and caring for family members.
