Support Pennsylvania's Workers' Bill of RIghts
Pennsylvania General Assembly
Every worker has the right to a voice at work. Advancing workers’ rights must include strengthening and expanding access to collective bargaining, the pursuit of fair consideration for our time and our labor, and protections for safety and health on the job. Employers who violate the rights of workers should not be rewarded for offensive labor practices, instead, workers should be recognized as stakeholders in their own right.
The Pennsylvania AFL-CIO, representing 700,000 union members, joined with workers’ rights defenders in the state legislature to pro-actively fight for workers in our Commonwealth. Joined by union members and state legislators, the State Federation held a press conference on Tuesday, November 19, 2019 launching the Pennsylvania’s Workers’ Bill of Rights.
This is only the beginning.
