The so-called Protecting the Right to Organize, or PRO, Act (H.R. 842) would end states’ right-to-work laws, empower the National Labor Relations Board to force employees to unionize against their will, encourage illegal aliens to join unions, and align U.S. labor laws with those of Mexico and Canada, in accordance with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which requires member countries to recognize collective bargaining at the national level.
The House passed H.R. 842 on March 9, 2021 by a vote of 225 to 206 (Roll Call 70). We have assigned pluses to the nays because the U.S. Constitution does not give the federal government any authority to regulate employers or workers. The 10th Amendment guarantees that the states and the people have authority over these matters.
