Goodlander bill aims to protect workers’ right to unionize


CONCORD, N.H. (WCAX) – New Hampshire Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander helped introduce legislation aimed at ensuring American workers have the freedom to organize and join a union.

Goodlander introduced the Protecting the Right to Organize Act.

In addition to protecting the rights of workers to join unions, the legislation ensures employers are held accountable and that union elections are secure and safe.

“When our unions are strong, New Hampshire is strong. The PRO Act will safeguard the fundamental rights of New Hampshire’s hardest-working women and men to come together and negotiate for a fair deal, better wages, and safer workplaces,” said Goodlander, D-New Hampshire.

Glenn Brackett, the president of the New Hampshire AFL-CIO, is pushing for the legislation to reach the White House.

“Both union workers and non-union workers are depending on Congress to update our broken labor law. This bill has passed the House on a bipartisan basis, and we urge our Representatives in Washington to do it again,” said Brackett.
