Working people built this country. Yet today, too many workers are denied the basic right to organize, bargain collectively, and have a real voice on the job. As a former labor lawyer and union organizer, I have spent my career standing shoulder-to-shoulder with workers fighting for fair wages, safe workplaces, and dignity on the job.

In Congress, I will be a strong champion for workers and the labor movement.

I proudly support the Protecting the Right to Organize Act (PRO Act) the most significant expansion of workers’ rights in generations. The PRO Act would restore balance between workers and powerful corporations by protecting the freedom to organize and ensuring that employers cannot intimidate or retaliate against workers who want to form a union.

The PRO Act will:

• Strengthen workers’ right to organize and collectively bargain
• Prevent employers from retaliating against workers who support unions
• End so-called “right-to-work” laws that weaken unions and drive down wages
• Ensure workers can secure first contracts after organizing
• Hold corporations accountable when they violate labor law

But passing the PRO Act must only be the beginning.

We must go further to expand union rights and rebuild the power of working people across our economy. That means protecting the right to strike, strengthening penalties against union-busting corporations, and making it easier for workers in new and emerging industries including tech, healthcare, and gig work to organize and form unions.

Stronger unions mean:

• Higher wages
• Better healthcare and retirement benefits
• Safer workplaces
• A stronger middle class

As someone who has fought corporations in the courtroom and stood with workers on the picket line, I know what it takes to challenge concentrated economic power. In Congress, I will continue that fight — ensuring that workers, not just wealthy corporations and CEOs, have a real voice in our economy.

When workers organize, our communities thrive. And when unions are strong, America is strong.
