FILE NUMBER..........
ASSEMBLY JOINT RESOLUTION—Urging Congress to enact
the Protecting the Right to Organize Act.
WHEREAS, An imbalance of earning power exists in the United
States economy, where annual income for the bottom 90 percent of
U.S. workers increased by 44 percent between 1979 and 2023, while
income for the top 1 percent of U.S. workers increased by over 180
percent during that period; and
WHEREAS, Unions play a critical role in increasing wages for
workers and reducing income inequality and, according to a 2023
report published by the Economic Policy Institute, workers covered
by a union contract earn 13.5 percent more on average than
similarly situated workers who are not covered by a union contract;
and
WHEREAS, Polls reveal that public support for unions has surged
in recent years, with approval for unions at some of the highest
levels since the 1960s; and
WHEREAS, On March 5, 2025, the Richard L. Trumka
Protecting the Right to Organize Act of 2025 was introduced in the
United States Congress as H.R. 20, 119th Cong. (2025), to increase
protections relating to the rights of employees to collectively
bargain; and
WHEREAS, This comprehensive legislation would prevent
employers from misclassifying employees so as to exempt those
employees from existing protections under labor laws; and
WHEREAS, The Act would allow a collective bargaining
agreement to require the collection of fair share fees by unions to
cover the cost of representing all represented workers; and
WHEREAS, The Act would also prohibit employers fro m
permanently replacing or discriminating against workers who
participate in strikes; and
WHEREAS, The Act would additionally prevent employers from
requiring workers to attend mandatory meetings designed to
discourage them from joining a union; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY AND SENATE OF THE STATE OF
NEVADA, JOINTLY, That the members of the 83rd Session of the
Nevada Legislature respectfully urge the Congress of the United
States to enact the Richard L. Trumka Protecting the Right to
Organize Act of 2025 to increase protections relating to the rights of
employees to collectively bargain; and be it further
