Sen. Elizabeth Warren has introduced a bill that would ban states from implementing so-called “right-to-work” laws, which suppress union activity and make it more difficult for workers to form unions.Protecting Workers and Improving Labor Standards Act. It would rescind “right-to-work” laws — which are currently in place in 27 states and Guam — that prohibit unions from collecting dues from non-union members who are still covered under a union contract.
“At a time when labor unions are growing in both size, popularity, and delivering real wins for workers, Democrats are making clear that we stand in solidarity with workers everywhere, from Starbucks baristas to Google cafeteria workers and everyone in between,” she went on. She also advocated for the passage of the Protecting the Right to Organize Act, which would massively expand the ability of workers to form unions in the U.S.
The bill also has the support of many major labor organizations, including the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Unions , the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union , the International Association of Machinists and the United Food and Commercial Workers Union .
