PRO Act 2021: Worker Benefit or Liability?
Written by Sandy Williams
The PRO Act (Protecting the Right to Organize Act) will begin debate in the U.S. House this week. The legislation, voted down in previous years, would change long-established labor laws that not everyone believes will benefit employees and the industries in which they work.
