On February 4, 2021, the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act of 2021 was introduced by House and Senate Democrats.

This legislation has been touted as the most significant reform of labor law in the United States since the Taft-Hartley Act and the 1935 Wagner Act—both World War II-era laws. Even if your work environment is not unionized, and thus labor concerns are not at the top of mind, the PRO Act has elements, which, if passed, will have significant impacts on your organization.

For those operating in a unionized environment, employers can expect to feel the substantial impact in the PRO Act (from union membership to replacement of striking workers) if passed.

In this episode of HR Power Hour, join Verrill Attorney Robert Brooks as he shares with Tawny the top ten aspects of the Act that employers should keep at the top of mind.

Tawny Alvarez

Tawny prides herself on helping clients comply with the law while simultaneously creating an amazing place to work.

She centers her practice on the understanding that the employment landscape is ever-changing and organizations do not have the time or resources to keep abreast of all these changes-from medical (and recreational) marijuana's effect on drug testing to the effect of social networking in the workplace, including the effect of the use of mobile devices on wage and hour issues.
