Miller-Meeks Statement on PRO Act

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, March 9th, 2021, Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA-02), a member of the House Education and Labor Committee, released the following statement after voting NO on H.R. 842, the Protecting the Right to Organize Act.

“Supporting workers and businesses are not mutually exclusive; we can do both at the same time. The PRO Act is an unnecessary challenge to the rights of business owners and workers alike. The bill would abolish right-to-work laws across the country, including the laws we have in Iowa, and is yet another attack on states’ rights.

If this Administration really cared about workers’ rights, it would not have canceled the Keystone XL Pipeline on day one, a move that was opposed by several major unions, including the Teamsters and AFL-CIO. Even though I have family members who were members of unions, I could not support this gift to union bosses.”
