Dear Members of the Virginia Congressional Delegation:
On behalf of the approximately 225,000 employers in the Commonwealth concerned with the rights of their employees, the fragile economy, and the need for balance in federal labor law, the undersigned chambers of commerce write to express our opposition to the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act.
Currently, 27 states have prioritized safeguarding the freedom of choice for employees by becoming a Right-to-Work state. Preserving employee free choice and protection against forced-dues payments are critical components to supporting Virginia’s workforce, both of which are foundational principles of Right-to-Work. In Virginia, many major employers have maintained constructive relationships with organized labor organizations, while maintaining its status as a Right-to-Work state.
