ABC Opposes PRO Act Ahead of Senate HELP Committee Hearing

On March 8, the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee will hold a hearing titled “Defending the Right of Workers to Organize Unions Free from Illegal Corporate Union-Busting,” which will highlight the ABC-opposed Protecting the Right to Organize Act, sponsored by the HELP Committee Chairman Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. ABC sent a letter to the committee ahead of tomorrow’s hearing highlighting the most dangerous provisions of the bill and the negative effects they would have on the construction industry and the economy.

While the bill has been reintroduced, with Republicans in control of the U.S. House it will not come up for a vote as it has in previous years and will not meet the 60-vote threshold requirement for passage in the U.S. Senate.
