Don’t Be Fooled: Senate Labor Reform Proposals Aren’t Pro-Worker

Dec. 17, 2025 | ECONOMICS | Last month, U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy (R-La.) unveiled a package of four bills that he described as advancing President Trump’s purported “pro-worker” agenda. But there is nothing in the legislation to address the problems workers face when they try to organize unions at their workplace. In fact, Senator Cassidy’s bills construct new barriers to worker organizing and create new incentives for employers to undermine workers’ rights. A comparison of Cassidy’s bills to the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, comprehensive legislation to reform our nation’s broken labor law system, is available on the Working Economics Blog. As you'll see, it’s clear which legislation actually helps workers.
