The PRO Act serves as the first step towards Big Labor's goal of subjecting every worker in America to union control.
Unions are supposed to"represent" workers, but the facts tell a different story. Union officials devote their time and money to playing politics, often pushing radical policies that are completely out of touch with rank-and-file members. Union bosses spend billions every election cycle, much of which funds legislative and political efforts to expand their own power.
The PRO Act would wipe out every state-level Right to Work law. It would also rewrite the definition of"independent contractor" to make nearly everyone a traditional employee. It includes numerous other changes to federal law that undermine the rights of workers who oppose union affiliation, for example by adding new restrictions on workers' ability to hold decertification elections to vote out unwanted unions.
Some of the proposals are downright bizarre. The report suggests that union bosses be allowed to"digitally picket" a company's website. To accomplish this, businesses would be legally required to put a pop-up window on their webpages saying that a strike is occurring, so that customers would have to either"cross the picket line" by closing the pop-up, or leave the site.
"Majorities," however, can be established through low-turnout elections, and union bosses can sometimes simply point to signed union"cards" without a vote ever taking place.
