The data is clear: The U.S. economy is not working for most Americans. While the wealthy are thriving, working-class and middle-class Americans are being left further and further behind. From 1980 to 2017, average incomes for the bottom 90% of households increased just 1.1%, while average incomes for the wealthiest 1% increased more than 184%.
Many experts believe that this inequality is the result of policy choices that have stripped workers of the power to join together and negotiate for decent wages, benefits, and working conditions.
A bill pending in Congress, the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, seeks to overhaul federal labor law for the first time in decades. The PRO Act addresses the difficulties workers have in organizing and would help restore workplace democracy.
In this special two-hour event, labor experts will discuss the PRO Act, evaluate its chances of passing, and examine how it would change the lives of American workers.
