Recently, the Protect the Right to Organize (PRO) Act of 2025 was reintroduced in the U.S. House and Senate. This legislation would provide unions with a laundry list of provisions that are harmful to small businesses. The PRO Act would require employers to turn over the private contact information of their employees to union organizers before union elections, eliminate the secret ballot process during union elections, and allow international labor unions to boycott small businesses with whom they have no affiliation.
 

The PRO Act would, among other things:

• Allow unions to participate in secondary boycotts
• Require employers to provide personal contact information of employees to union organizers
• Codify the NLRB’s Browning-Ferris Industries joint employer standard, which would decimate the franchise model
• Implement a strict, arbitrary, and complex employee vs. independent contractor classification test, which would curtail the right of small businesses to hire and classify workers as independent contractors
• Abolish state right-to-work laws
• Ban so-called “captive audience” meetings

 

Act now and urge your legislators to oppose this harmful legislation.
