OPEIU joins Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.) and Reps. Bobby Scott (Va.) and Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.) in their call to pass the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act. Will you protect working people and support the PRO Act?

Working people are sick of corporations raking in record profits while we can barely support our families.

That’s why we’re organizing like never before.

Work stoppages were up 52 percent in 2022, and the number of workers involved in stoppages increased 60 percent.

If we want to build up worker power, our outdated labor laws must keep up with the times.

This is why now is the time to pass the PRO Act, just reintroduced in the Senate as the Richard L. Trumka PRO Act.

If you think we need to protect working people, take 30 seconds to add your name in support of the PRO Act.

In solidarity,

Team OPEIU

Social Security and Medicare are under threat as a budget crisis looms in Congress. Despite pledges from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to protect these essential programs during upcoming negotiations, we shouldn't just take their word for it. Anti-worker lawmakers have been fighting to eliminate these programs for decades.

This President's Day, take a moment to write or call your representative’s office and tell them to PROTECT SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE during upcoming budget negotiations. Social Security and Medicare are not only a lifeline for seniors, but a promise to future generations that a dignified retirement is possible – if we continue to fight for it.
