Actors’ Equity Association issued a statement regarding the news that the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, has been re-introduced in Congress, now formally known as the Richard L. Trumka Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act.
“Now, when workers’ rights in this country are under imminent threat, it is crucial that we finally pass the PRO Act. The National Labor Relations Act has shaped this country for the better for 90 years, and we have to shore it up,” said Al Vincent, Jr., executive director of Actors’ Equity Association. “Passing the PRO Act will also send a message from Congress that they care about the wellbeing of American workers. That includes the right to organize, to receive a living wage and to combat misclassification.”
