Manchin Backs PRO Act, Bill to Eliminate Right-to-Work Laws

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Senator Joe Manchin (D., W.Va.) gave his support to the PRO Act during a National Press Club event on climate change on Monday.

The PRO Act is intended to strengthen unionizing efforts and would block right-to-work laws, which allow workers to opt out of union memberships and accompanying fees.

“I am pleased to announce that I am cosponsoring the PRO Act,” Manchin said at the event. “Fifty percent of unions fail in their first year of organizing. This legislation will level the playing field.”

Manchin added that he would attempt move the legislation forward with bipartisan support.

Otherwise his support likely means nothing.
