Sign Petition: Expand Union Protection

Millions of working men and women struggle every day to provide for their families. It's hard enough to form a union because of anti-union retaliation; workers shouldn't have to worry about government interference, too.

But last year, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) ruled that companies can reclassify large swaths of workers as supervisors, stripping away the rights of millions of workers to form or join a union.

The very agency that is supposed to protect a worker's basic right to form a union has once again taken away those rights.

America's workers deserve the right to have a say about their working conditions, benefits, and job safety. Only Congress has the power to restore those rights.

Please write to your Members of Congress and ask them to co-sponsor the RESPECT Act (H.R. 1644 and S. 969) and give workers the respect they deserve.
