Episode 10: The PRO Act: What Is It, What’s In It, And Will It Pass?

The Protecting the Right to Organize Act, known as the PRO Act, was first introduced in February 2020 but flew somewhat under the radar given the onset of the pandemic. On February 4, 2021, House Democrats reintroduced the PRO Act in essentially the same form.

In this episode, Scott Mallery, Counsel in Seyfarth’s Sacramento office, and Kyllan Kershaw, Partner in Seyfarth’s Atlanta office, discuss how the composition of government is much different for the recent reintroduction of the PRO Act, given the trifecta of democratic majorities in the House and Senate and a democratic president and vice president in the White House, and note that employers are undoubtedly tuned in.
