The PRO Act is designed to strengthen unions by making it easier for workers to organize, protecting them from employer retaliation, and closing loopholes that allow businesses to classify workers as independent contractors instead of employees. Stronger unions benefit educators and public education by ensuring fair wages, job security, and improved working conditions.
The PRO Act would strengthen public education by ensuring that teachers and education workers have a stronger voice in their workplaces. Collective bargaining is crucial in providing working people with a voice and a means for improving their families’ lives. The freedom to collectively bargain, in both the public and the private sectors, helps reduce income inequality and assists low- and middle-income workers in sharing in economic growth. When educators can negotiate fair pay, smaller class sizes, and better working conditions, students also benefit from a more stable and high-quality learning environment.
