As an essential business and constituent playing a critical role in supporting the food supply chain, I am writing to urge you to oppose H.R. 842/S. 420, the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act. As I’m sure you are aware, the House of Representatives passed this bill on March 9, 2021 and it is now under consideration in the Senate. This legislation 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. While the PRO Act claims to protect employees, it actually contains many provisions that strip workers of essential rights. Most importantly, the PRO Act limits employees’ ability to choose or reject union representation through secret ballots. The PRO Act increases the instances under which the government could impose union representation despite employees voting against such representation in a secret ballot election. The signing of “authorization cards” also known as “card check” should not be a substitute for a secret ballot election. The process of “card checks” is a public one, that is inherently susceptible to coercion, since union organizers can present employees with cards to sign in front of coworkers. Organizers are then free to share with employees who has or has not signed cards, which exposes workers to intimidation and possibly harassment. In addition, The PRO Act also violates employees’ rights to privacy. The bill mandates employers provide the contact information for all employees without prior approval from the employees themselves to union organizers. Employees would not be able to opt out of this requirement and would not have a say in what, if any, contact information is provided, again exposing workers to potential harassment. Finally, 28 states currently have Right-To-Work laws in place, which prohibit employers and unions from requiring employees to join or pay fees to the union as a condition of employment. Should the PRO Act pass, these laws would be repealed, making this less about the workers and more about the unions. We should not stifle workers and small businesses with these harmful provisions, particularly as our nation continues to recover from the pandemic. I urge you to oppose H.R. 842, the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act. Thank you for your consideration and please let me know if you have any questions.
