Have you called your Representative yet?

Tell them to support the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, H.R. 2474, which would give millions of America’s workers additional protections to organize and negotiate for better pay and benefits, and a voice on the job.

[midmialc @midmialc]

“Right to work” laws are spreading, while wages have stagnated. More than ever, we need our lawmakers to stand up for working people’s rights—that’s where the PRO Act comes in.

Call your representative and tell them to stand up for working families and pass the PRO Act!

[midmialc @midmialc]

Tomorrow is the National Call-In Day for the PRO Act. Make your plans now to contact your Representative on February 4th.

Call 844-505-2803 tomorrow and ask your representative to support working people and co-sponsor the PRO Act.

[midmialc @midmialc]

The U.S. House will vote tomorrow on the PRO Act, which would give millions of workers additional protections to organize and negotiate for better pay and benefits. But greedy CEOs will do everything they can to oppose working people standing together.

Don’t let CEOs speak for you! Working people's retirements are invested in companies. We depend on shareholder proposals as part of the process to hold CEOs accountable.

Tell the SEC to oppose making it harder for investors to file shareholder proposals.
