URGENT & IMMEDIATE Actions Needed on PRO Act

THE MESSAGE

• Our national economy is not working for most working-class, lower- and middle class Americans, or most racial and ethnic minority Americans;
• The PRO Act protects the basic right of American workers to organize or join a union;
• When workers have the power to join together and negotiate with their employer, they secure fair pay, better benefits, and safer working conditions.
• Union membership helps to narrow the racial and gender pay gap by guaranteeing a fair day’s pay for a hard day’s work for all Americans.
• Union members of color have almost five times the median wealth of their non-union counterparts.
• For women who are members of unions or covered by union contracts, unions nearly eliminate the gender pay gap.
