 Mar. 7, 2025 | WORKERS’ RIGHTS | A bipartisan group of lawmakers, led by Sen. Bernie Sanders, Ind-Vt., accompanied by other Democrats and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., reintroduced the Protect The Right To Organize (PRO) Act, labor’s top legislative priority. Its prospects are uncertain at best in the Republican-led Senate and virtually dead on arrival in the highly partisan Republican-led House Education and the Workforce Committee. Even Sen. Bernie Sanders, (Ind-Vt) recognized the problem, by implication, when he mentioned that when he chaired the Senate Labor Committee in the last Congress, the panel approved it. What he did not say is that it was by a party-line vote. That won’t stop Sanders, the [AFL-CIO] federation, House Education and Workforce top Democrat Bobby Scott of Virginia and their allies from trying again.
