The California legislature passed legislation to address a crisis of its own making, AB 5, a law that has wreaked havoc in the state.
The U.S. House of Representatives on February 5 passed H.R. 2474, the so-called Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce filed an Amicus Brief to urge the U.S. District Court, Central District of California to grant Plaintiffs’ Motion for a Preliminary Injunction and enjoin defendants from enforcing AB 5 against them, or otherwise causing it to be enforced against them, pending final judgment.
House leaders reportedly promised that the PRO Act will be brought to the floor for a vote within the coming weeks.
According to a recent article, progressives and unions are getting frustrated that the Protecting the Right to Organize Act seems delayed.
This paper highlights the major changes to the established framework of labor and employment relations that organized labor has in mind with the PRO Act. While it is unlikely to become law in the current Congress, the PRO Act is a harbinger of things to come if the political winds shift in 2020.
The PRO Act would undermine worker rights, ensnare employers in unrelated labor disputes, disrupt the economy, and force individual Americans to pay union dues regardless of their wishes.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce strongly opposes H.R. 2474, the “Protecting the Right to Organize Act.”
Sean P. Redmond, executive director for labor policy, penned this op-ed on how the PRO Act could fundamentally change the National Labor Relations Act.
