How to Contact Your Representative About Workers' Rights & Unions

The Issue

What's at Stake

Federal labor protections — including the right to organize, protections against unfair labor practices, and National Labor Relations Board enforcement — are under pressure in 2026. NLRB budgets have been cut, enforcement actions against employers have slowed, and legislation to weaken collective bargaining rights has been introduced.

At the same time, the PRO Act, which would strengthen workers' rights to organize and bargain collectively, has been reintroduced but faces significant opposition. Your representatives vote on whether federal labor law protects workers' ability to organize and bargain for fair wages and conditions.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the PRO Act?

The Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act would strengthen federal protections for workers who want to form unions, ban certain union-busting tactics, increase penalties for employer violations of labor law, and override some state right-to-work laws for private-sector workers.

What is happening to the NLRB?

The National Labor Relations Board has faced budget cuts and leadership changes in 2025-2026 that have slowed enforcement of labor law. The NLRB enforces workers' rights to organize and bargain collectively — weakening its enforcement capacity directly affects workers' ability to exercise those rights.

Does calling about workers' rights make a difference?

Yes. Labor issues generate strong constituent support, particularly from union households and working-class communities. Sustained pressure has historically influenced which members support pro-labor legislation.
