Stop The PRO Act
Unions and their allies are promoting a bill that would destabilize America’s workplaces and impose a long list of dangerous changes to labor law.
A proposal, called the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act (S. 420/H.R. 842), is a litany of almost every failed idea from the past 30 years of labor policy.

The PRO Act would take away private ballots in union elections, allow unions to picket and boycott a company's clients and contractors, and fire workers who choose not to join a union.
