ICYMI: Congressman Marc Veasey (TX-33) Votes to Pass the Protecting the Right to Organize Act

ICYMI: Last night, Congressman Marc Veasey (TX-33) voted to pass H.R. 842, the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act. The historic PRO Act will help rebuild the middle class by protecting workers' basic right to join a union, holding employers accountable for violating workers' rights and securing free, fair and safe union elections.

"As chairman of the Congressional Blue Collar Caucus, I will never stop fighting to strengthen the rights of working men and women in the state of Texas, and ensure they can continue to strengthen our communities and power our economy," said Congressman Marc Veasey (TX-33). "With the passage of historic PRO Act, Democrats are taking bold action to not only support American workers suffering during this challenging time, but we are advancing progress to Build Back Better For The People."

The Protecting the Right to Organize Act ensures that workers can decide for themselves whether to exercise their right to form a union. This legislation would be the most significant upgrade for workers' collective bargaining rights in more than 80 years. The PRO Act:

Provides new tools to protect workers from anti-union intimidation and retaliation;
Establishes stronger safeguards to ensure workers can hold free and fair union elections; and
Introduces meaningful penalties for companies ⎯ and executives ⎯ that violate workers' collective bargaining rights.
