Info Report on The Protecting The Right To Organize (PRO) Act

Union power in the United States has eroded due to declining membership, widespread misclassification, and wage stagnation that disproportionately harms vulnerable workers. The PRO Act seeks to modernize labor protections by strengthening the right to organize, extending employee status through the ABC test, and enforcing meaningful penalties for employer violations. While these reforms aim to rebalance workplace power, concerns about economic strain, reduced worker flexibility, and disproportionate impacts on small businesses highlight the need for targeted, sector-specific adjustments.
