Facing dwindling membership in a booming economy, U.S. labor unions are backing a comprehensive legislative package that, if enacted, would rewrite key provisions of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA).
The Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act working its way through Congress is a radical proposal, says Brian Hayes, an attorney with Ogletree Deakins and a former National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) member, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) reported on July 30.
"It would radically change the NLRA, legislatively overrule hundreds upon hundreds of NLRB and federal court decisions, and completely rewrite fundamental U.S. labor law and policy," Haynes told the SHRM.
"The PRO Act is a legislative grab bag of virtually every modification to the NLRA that organized labor has sought for decades," Haynes said.
