The PRO Act and Union Organizing - Part I

In this episode of Conversations with TED, Employment and Labor Relations attorney Peter Spanos addresses how the Protecting the Right to Organize Act (PRO Act) aligns with the labor and employment goals of the Biden administration. Peter walks through the many implications of the PRO Act, starting with its intention to make collective bargaining and organizing groups of employees easier for unions and significantly increase penalties for any violations to national labor relations laws. Peter also projects the dramatic effect on union representation organizing should the PRO Act become a law. Impacts could include restrictions surrounding employers retaining attorneys and more control granted to unions for election site locations and arbitration.
