A cross section of business groups, including CIRT, have urged Congress not to pass legislation that essentially favors unionization of all federal contracting, while eliminating safeguards and procedures that protect individual workers.  The Coalition for a Democratic Workplace expressed its opposition to the “Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act” (H.R. 842) in a letter that points out, among other things, that the proposed legislation threatens fundamental rights and vital aspects of our economy such as: workers right to choose whether or not to be represented by a union through secret ballot elections, remove a union, and to act as independent contractors to businesses.
