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.

CHRISTIANSBURG, Va. – Next stop: Christiansburg.
The Virginia General Assembly is all aboard a plan to build a new Amtrak station in the New River Valley.
On Monday, a bill to establish the NRV Passenger Rail Authority passed.
Now, it heads to Gov. Ralph Northam’s desk.
The project has been years in the making and members of the local New River Valley Passenger Rail Initiative hope to locate the station on a parcel of land near the Christiansburg Aquatic Center.

A bill that would set state standards for commercial wind and solar farms aims to strike a balance between local control and Indiana’s need for renewable energy, the measure’s co-author said.
Debate over House Bill 1381, co-written by State Rep. Sharon Negele (R-Attica) was among the topics discussed Saturday at a virtual legislative roundtable sponsored by the Crawfordsville/Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce.
The bill proposes default rules for developers on the installation and siting of wind turbines and solar panels, and is intended to stop counties from banning development of renewable energy projects.
